Yes, gray chenille. Tails are a mix of gray and black neck hackle. Heads on left are smoke, right are chromeQuote:

The Grey Ghost is probably the single most popular color on some lakes and I suspect the ones that it's not are not using it. I admit I don't use it, but maybe I should. Know I have tied a bunch of them!
You can see one of the true originals below and also one like I have tied.

What about a perch, crawdad and mayfly combo?
Brown, tan and orange combo would be the colors I would fool with. Brown tail of hackle V's with an orange or two mixed in and a tan chenille body is a thought. A strip or two of flash and you're good. I need to tie some today myself, need some bench time.
I have also tied many of the gray ghost variations and they do very well, all the way down to 1/80. They just plain catch fish.

Nice jigs, I tried to copy them and mine did not turn out near this nice. I need more practice.

Len and 20 watt, real nice work. Never tried the pearl gray chenille, good look.
Not an imitation pattern, but I'm tying this for crawfish color.Quote:

Lots of time went into the colors but it may be a bust. Will do a field test next weekend hopefully.
