I am about to place an order to grandpa bobs for some chenille and I need you guys to help me. I was curious what are some of yalls favorite colors that he carries on his website? I am looking for specific colors like item numbers rather than white or pink. There are so many variations of colors that I'm really not sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated :)
Thanks,
Michael
or from Crazy Angler... either place
Only problem for me is I buy from Danville and these suppliers make up their names and numbers! So their numbers and names mean nothing to me! If you bought from Barlow's or Bob Marriotts I thnk they use the same names at least as the mfg like Danville. Also I hardly ever have bought any of the new age chenille as I just custome order what ever colors I want with the crystal in it!
So don't think I can help much unless one if the has my colors with the Danville name still used.
Example would be Copenhagen Blue is a color I really live in spring and will use it in both stained water as well as clear and just change the head and tail color! You can always look at Danville's site.
I also like the Nylon colors a lot, like FL Green (the green chart), FL Yellow (the yellow chat). I also like Nylon Black more than Rayon Black! I wish there were more color in the Nylon!
Here are their color charts....
Danville Chenille Company Inc.
from crazy, fire tiger, pearl, get a bunch of pearl! minner, which is gray with flash added in, fancy, which is yellow chartruese, junebug. get a kelly green color for the christmas tree combo. I got the reg. danville rayon I think, anyway they have some great new colors out that I haven't tried, as always the winter run blue from grandpa bobs, not sure what crazy is calling it. he has several that could be it. but that pearl white is just killer. one thing to remember, crazy carries size 3 chenille which has good size to it, and grandpa bobs carries size 2 which is a little smaller, on a size 4 jig I want the size 3.
Peral , minner, fire tiger
Lot of great colors .....
These are some of my favorite colors....
Grandpa Bob's
Cactus Chenille....#243 and #54
New Age Chenille...#118...#112...#107...and #128
Crazy Anglers
Crystal Chenille...#5553
New Age Chenille...#421...#4113...#418...#417...#4583
Alien, or arkansas shiner from crazy angler
ANYTHING ROBERT AT CRAZY ANGLER SELLS IS GOOD BUT MY FAVORITE IS HIS COPPER GOES GOOD WITH MOST ANY COMBO LIKE PURPLE AND BLUE:biggrin Attachment 95729IT WOULD ALSO LOOK REALLY GOOD WITH AN ELECTRIC CHICKEN PATTERN
Simple get all of it!!!!!!!!!
Here are the ones I use a lot. Grandpa Bob's names have numbers after them. CA's don't because almost all the bags I have from him just have the name written on the bag. Some of them are the same chenille under a different name. In that case, I list both names separated by a slash.

Trust me, this is not even close to the amount of colors I have. I'm a sucker for chenille.
I'm going to have to order some of the colors you guys have listed. I am a the beach which is why I haven't responded as quickly. Been trying to catch some flounder which I'm not good at LOL...
Thanks guys,
Michael
Well, the beach was a bust only caught a few flounder. Thanks for you guys posting colors for me to look at. Do you guys think the #2 chennile will be okay with a #8 sickle hook?
Thanks,
Michael
Yes that would work. All i tie is #8 sickles and Aberdeen's and I just trim the body when im done if needed.
