Great looking jig
Very nice. Think we should do a CHALLENGE on this?
Top left are my latest using the "monkey milk" new age chenille from an ebay vendor.

Very nice. Those should work good. I love that top jig! Would kill them here.
Good looking ties
I have a question for you guy that know the soft plastic colors so well a question I can't answer right now. I have not fished soft plastics except the few times I go bass fishing for a big one.
So here is my question, first are the specks in Monkey Milk Silver or what?
Then with chenille would be closer, using Silver if that is color of specks with Pearl Crystal or using it with Nylon FL White? Also if it is the Nylon FL White would it look better with more or less Silver specks?

Here is a pic of Bobby Garland Monkey Milk.

I think maybe the white and pearl with just a few black strands in it would be a perfect match. I'm not sure I've seen a perfect match chenille but some pretty close.
Thank you!
Gonna send you a PM.

If someone says they’re catching on monkey milk, I try to just tie up a minnow pattern. Something with white n silver and a lil black or not. Usually works.

The BG brand MM baby shads seem to have a slight turquoise or lilac blue tint in the base color. Caught a few crappie on my ties today, but they preferred one in regular silver/gray, not the MM. With a nibble. Like SK says, you have to let the fish tell you what they want, not what you want to throw.
Sniff, sniff. They didn't wan't my purdy jig! :(
I felt much better after a fried crappie sammich. :ThumbsUp
Edit : Maybe it's a pink tint. My color vision is not that great.
Those are beautiful jigs you guys are posting
I really enjoy seeing the art others produce it helps me to learn
Thanks everyone for taking the time to show your work you are masters in your craft
Skip I really look forward to seeing what you have came up with
Here is one that I did that I believe somewhat approximates a Monkey Milk look.

Pretty jigs guys.
Well wish I had not put the flash on it right now, but the chenille I just got as my effort to get a Monkey Milk chenille.
So here it is what do you think?

Looks good Skip. I think maybe the pearl flash would be nice touch.
I like the flash. Looks good

Fine looking jigs. Those should work good.
Jigs look good, but I was hoping for even less Black on the chenille I just had Danville make. I had mine made with the least amount of Black Crystal as I could and the most FL White as I could, because all the soft plastics of Monkey Milk I have seen are light on the Black dots.
Skip
I think it looks good and will work good Skip. It will be on my next order from you.
Skip Wish I would have saw that before i placed my order that looks great
Thank you!Quote:

The way I have these made the chenille is more dense and less of the Crystal shows. So it comes done to if someone want more or less of the Blue on that FL Yellow. I like both, lol!

Good stuff, Here.
