After watching a couple of videos from a certain YouTube Legend catch crappie using a gold and chartreuse jig in heavily stained water, it made me want to tie a few to try out myself.
The top two are 1/32oz #4 sickle hooks and the bottom two are 1/32oz #6 sickles.
Which version do you think will catch more?

I vote bottom, I like the extra flash. But both look awesome. Good job Jeff
I like em both ! Air mail me some and I’ll let you know! Lol. They work good in my area!
Haha I was gonna try some myself but don’t have any gold chenille.......yet. I think both will work. Very nice!!
I tied a few 1/8 Oz Roadrunners with a Gold plated head and Good body with Chartreuse Marabou tail for Ketchn that he seemed to like a lot. Maybe I should try that too?

Great looking jigs. i knew I needed something when I was in the Orvis store yesterday. Gold chenille. Guys what are you painting you jig heads with to get the gold color?
I used candy gold and added gold holographic flake

They both will work for you!! I prefer the smaller hook size.
They both look good, I think I like the bottom one more.
Both look great and I know that combo works. I think you have your hooks turned around though. Looks like 6 in top and 4 on bottom

Yup! You are correct! Sometimes I don’t know the difference between my right and left too [emoji51]Quote:

I found a picture of my Gold and Chartreuse that I tied for Ketchn back in 2016, it's hard to beat Gold Plated heads for a Gold color! I think he liked them a lot!
The picture, well I didn't do as good on it as I should have.

I do not charge a fee for field testing. Just pay shipping and send me a few and I will let you know lol. All jokes aside, they look good.
Thank you guys!Quote:

I got a bunch of Gold and Nickel plated heads done and even a few of Black Nickel. I will have a lot of them since I quit using the nickel plated ones for Silver or Chrome powder paint. Now I sit here with a bunch of them that I don't really use, but probably will start tying some for my fishing.
I also had someone give me a bunch of 1/8 Gold Plated heads that I can't do much with due to the Sickle hooks are kind of weak and I do not know why they are like that and maybe I will try tying one to try this summer when I go to a larger head for deeper water? I bet I have 2,000 of them and can't really scared to do anything with these extras, lol! Thankfully I have some of the ones I sent in and they didn't have that problem.
Also the Chartreuse Marabou and even some of the Hackle I had special dyed and is different than the normal Hareline Chartreuse like I sell. I don't sell my special shade because it's a special order and I have to get too much. This Chartreuse shade is brighter in the water and the sun and is not so Green as the normal FL Chartreuse.
