Chenille - Shimmering Sea Turtle #131 - 3 Yard Package: Grandpa Bob's Custom Jigs
i believe its shimmering sea turtle
Went through a bunch of different color charts and can't match it up.
Jeff I think that is the one, does anyone know if grandpa bobs service has gotten any better?
Haven't heard anything but do a search on Grandpa Bob here and someone may have posted something. He's got great prices but without the service it doesn't work out. Not willing to take a second chance at this point.
I had a bad experience about a year ago with him. I am like fatman not sure if I want to take that chance. I wish crazy angler had something close.
I've ordered from GrandaPa bobs on and off andlast 2 orders shipped with a couple days
Tried some other match ups
Crystal Chenille Size 5 Copper Green Black Fly Tying | eBay
Closest IMO 347 at Barlows Chenille - Variegated
That one from Barlows is very close, I have ordered from them before. It shipped out pretty quick.
I have it as well here is a link to it Size 2 Fly Tying Chenille Camo 03 | eBay
there ya go i just purchased some chenille from fish hunter he ships fast
Fishunter is a good guy and am sure you will get what you want plenty fast IMHO!
That' been my most recent experience too.Quote:

I ordered some chenille from fishhunter should have it on Monday. I might give grandpa bobs another try. I guess everyone deserves a second chance. Will probably just order chenille. Bobogreybeard has my jig head business for as long as he wants it.
Just placed an order with grandpa bobs online. I will let everyone know how it goes.
Thanks hopefully he's gotten better!!
I hope so to, he has really good prices and some really good looking colors on his chenille.
I've found that if Tim (fishhunter) doesn't have something, he can usually get it or tell you where to get it. Besides him being a member, I met him at the Dallas Outdoor Show a few years back. Back then he was about the only one making really good looking rubber tailed crappie jigs, and after just meeting me he told me exactly how to make them, what were the best materials and where to get them. I like doing business with a man like that.
Tim was very quick in getting my order out. I will probably do a lot of business with him in the future.
Well just an update on the grandpa bobs order. Placed my order on Monday and today it is still listed as processing. I guess I am going to give it until Monday and make the call if it has not changed. All I ordered was chenille some of which I need pretty quick to tie some colors a buddy of mine is wanting.
whats the tail material?
I believe that is saltwater hackle.
I placed an order with Grandpa Bob on 2/14/15. As of today it is still listed as being processed. All of the other suppliers I have used since then such as BoBo's Bait N Tackle, Crazy Angler, Caddis Fly Shop and Fishhunter775 have been lightening fast in getting their orders out to me. Kudos to them. I can highly recommend any of these guys for your jig tying supplies.Quote:
