Kind of a natural take, but it looks like it bumped its head, LOL! j/k around. I would probably put a chart tail on that. Still nothing wrong with it Bob, fish it and see what the fish think.
Bob leave that one up in Oregon when you make your move LOL Just kidding, Im with Skip think a chart would be a little better and some asprin for the bumps on the noggin.
I did not pay any attention to the bump on the head. I kind of like the natural look yes chartreuse would look nice but I wanted the natural look that is olive I believe that is one that I died.Quote:

Very natural looking jig. Could see that fooling some fish!
Drop it in a clear water lake and it should work fine, but I'm not sure it could take another drop on it's head :Rofl Just kidding with you Bob:):)
Bob we are all just tugging your chain, it's fine and the crappie wouldn't carer if it has a bump on it's head, LOL!
ALso that tail sure looks like Ginger to me or bleached Elk kind of looks like that. Is that tail supposed to be olive?
It's a fine tie Snake . . .
An ugly jig might just catch an ugly fish, which tastes just as fine as a pretty fish!
Well done -
I tye a thread neck in that tail color that does really well at times...
I know you guys are just fooling with me but that's okay yes that is a olive tail more of a yellow olive or are so many different shades that you can make or buy.Quote:

Ugly jigs need love too! A few years ago I received some chenille in a swap, just 6 or 8 inches in a different look than we normally use(suede maybe, or velour). I looked at it on the bench for months and finally had to clean the bench. I grabbed a tan head, this off white chenille, and a tan hackle tail feather( I think that was it anyway). It was 1/8 and looked like nothing I had used or tied before. I dropped it on some fish and they absolutely loved it. I fish 2 rods that time of year and that rod was much busier than my Favorite on the other rod. I think I still have it and it has over 80 keepers to it's credit. Point is, have a cooler ready when you start trying these oddballs. I tie goofy stuff now just to find out if it will work.
