What Do You Think?

Okay for years I tied jigs using Fl Yellow with Blue Crystal in it, but I got to thinking maybe if there was just a little less Crystal in it, how would that look? Well I am sure you have seen one of my jigs with Blue Crystal before, but will show again to compare. Now I also realized I should have probably tied this using a Blue tail, but I didn't so please just look at the chenille.

First the older one...

Then the new one... Uh, before anyone ask the head is unpainted!

Very nice!! I'd tie the top on first

They both look great and I'm sure from day to day ether one will out fish the other. Great work as always skip.

Nice work Skip.

That's a tough decision. I prefer the original, but would gladly use either one. Pretty jigs Skip.

I get what you are looking for and it seems you have succeeded. I wouldn't hesitate to throw either but lean towards the flash as I fish mostly stained water. Would you want less flash in clear water?

Thanks guys! One other thing to consider is the new one is more dense.

I like both too and that is part of the problem. I do think the Blue shows a little better in hand on the new one and the other does have extra flash, but also not so sure that is always a plus.

Good looking jigs Skip. I like them both

Perfect proportions. The chenille matches the head size exactly.

Great looking jig.

I like the 1st one better, but I definitely would fish both. Would like to see the 2nd jig with the blue tail. Keep em comin! Dave

I likes them both. The top blue one, well that's just slap purdy! I would think the green one would catch more fish. What the heck fish them both and let the fish tell which is best.

Those both look great. Where can a guy get some of that chenille in the first picture?

This goes a long way to support the "bald is beautiful" theory. Very nice work. I like the skinny crystal.

You, of all people, don't need to be schooled on how much a subtle difference can be so important. I like them both. And I'm sure they will both do a fine job but on different days. You can tie a dozen jigs from what suits your fancy that day and they will all work well, when the conditions allow. Nice stuff there friend of mine.

Kaboom medicine for sure
