https://scontent-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hp...03&oe=5586D4C7Mixed up some candy orange and pearl white power and got what I thought was nice color for a rosy red jig head. Tied some peach rabbit hair and shrimp pink flash in and this is what I came up with. They are 1/8 x 4 and 1/16 x 4 minnow heads. I will try them if we ever get rid of this winter!
WOW!!!!
Good lookin Jigs! good job buddy yes love that color put it In the colors mix page.
Nice!
Nice x2!
Nice looking ties

Nice tie! I did some Rabbit ones as well and liked it a lot. I just used two tone rabbit and even took pictures dry and wet. Will see if I can find them to show you.
Found some so here they are, but will need to look up color later if anyone wants to know! These also are 1/8.

Awesome colors.
Awesome work tom!
the jigs are really awesome guys.
Those make my rosey red ties look like a chimp did them........
Here is the other one I did with Rabbit and both wet and dry. I am not sure I would stay with the color head I used on these, but I do have that pales pink now that may work better????
This one to me looks like the color strips I used was Salmon Pink Orange & the other one I posted last night was I think Peachy Pink, but I may have to tie another one to know for sure, LOL! Darn which I had written that down like I usually do. I tied these in very early 2013 so been a little while.
Wet of course!

Engineered really nice Mr. Tom. Those look fantastic. You really have the talent to put some gorgeous jigs together!!!! Hope you catch some fish on them.
z520tom very nice. I am not familiar with the process that you mentioned of dipping the jig in a fluid bed. Could you explain this process?Quote:
