Have used this color combo for many years and just decided to add a little different flash to see how it looks, but is just a phone pic so we see, lol!

Nice jig, but stop with the Christmas thing! It’s mid April and still snowing in Ohio[emoji22]
We will be getting snow tonight, thru tomorrow morning too, ugh. That is really nice Skip, now go take it fishing.
Awesome looking like always love that color combination.
Did some like that, and also with Orange head. Been the MONEY jig lately. You were talking of this pattern some weeks ago. I listened. TY
Great work as alway!
Thank you guys! Yes I have used this color combo since about 1979 when I fist used it on a Roadrunner. So it's been fishing a lot and probably longer than it needs for testing purpose, lol! I figure 38-39 years testing is enough huh?
Christmas jig was just a name I gave it about 12 -14 years ago and really has nothing to do with Christmas time or winter, lol!

Skip is that a yellow tail with a orange head?
It's a Flame Red head and many think it's Orange, but Pro-Tec's Orange is Blaze Orange and while close to this, it's more Orange, lol!Quote:

I say all that because of how much I like this more pale shade and after all it a Florescent color to it's gonna get seen!

Excellent combo, my go to.
My jig tying mentor put me on it many years ago after saying he's fished it his whole life. That's a lifetime of catching fish, .....proven

What color is the chenille? Is that a dark olive? I seriously have problems with reds and greens.
That is Kelly Green and just shows a little dark in photos.Quote:
