Which of these do you prefer and why? Some differences are subtle.
The top two yellow heads have 2 white V’s stacked on 2 yellow V’s.
The bottom 2 yellow heads have alternating V’s
Is acid rain more effective with a white head?
Is it a plus or minus to add the flash?
It looks like won’t have the opportunity to test them myself for awhile.

First I like them all and not a bad one anywhere. I think I prefer the ones with more contrast or larger areas of white so it doesn’t blend together as much. Like the bottom candy stripe body and the top body. Then for tails same thing except the top and second with the white on the bottom. The flash, give or take but prefer I think no flash like second jig. White head on these I think would be good once again it would add more contrast and a larger area of white. But I’m getting picky, pretty sure the fish won’t be as picky. Amazing work my friend, all of them are winners!
Those look awesome
Those will get bit no doubt and nice looking stuff. I like a white head chartreuse body and white tail or a chartreuse head white body and chartreuse tail . have seen a couple days that a little flash would help on real stained water .
They look great, all of them,
Looking good!

They all look good and have potential. This is the great thing about tying your own. One of these will rise to become a favorite on your waters. Keep up the good work and wait for the thump to tell you witch is best for that day and water clarity.
My favorite is the very top one
I agree with deep fry, the top one does it for me. I don’t use as much flash, usually only 2 but those are bigger than I usually tie. Good stuff!
The very top one for me also. Very nice ties.

Looks to me yellow powder paint or fluorescent yellow powder paint depending on which shade you like. Acid rain chenille from Skip (skiptomylu here on cdc) and fluorescent yellow and white neck hackle for tail with silver Krystal flash. I will let Jeff confirm but I think that’s it.

Very nice looking jigs Jeff!
I sent skip a message about that chenille. Acid rain plastic is on at least 2 of 8 rods when I’m long lining. I’ve got an idea I want to try but I’m trying to get the chenille part figured out. I don’t think it makes a ton of difference, but if I’m tying them, I want ME to like them first :biggrin:Quote:

Patrick from Woods and Water Outdoors has a good video on this. Doing this really increases design options. Good luck!

Good stuff, thanks for sharing
Thanks Dave. I'll check that video out.
Thanks Dave, I Have a good bit of the Acid Rain Sparkle and do still have a little of the Acid Rain without the sparkle.

The darker heads are indeed Yellow. The lighter ones are yellow chartreuse.
The chenille is from our favorite crack dealer Skip!

All of the jigs posted will definitely get a response from the fish as all they see is the combination of colors! Good thread!
