Red Rosie Minnow Jig?

I get something stuck in my head usually I keep swinging till I get some satisfaction. Painting a picture with feathers and chenille is a challenge for someone like me with ZERO artistic talent but I try. After studying pictures of red rosie minnows there is one heck of a variation in nature. The only thing consistent is the black eye and the fact that red rosies are not red but closer to pink and orange. These will need to be "good nuff." Certainly is better for the sanity than sitting in front of the tube watching political commercials. Anyways it's fun to try. Take Care and Be Safe!

Nice ties, they should bring home the meat.

Very nice ties!! Good representation. :ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp

Very good. They will get the thump.

Would definitely fish with those. Have seen some that look more orangish, at the local Pet's Plus store. But oh will those do a job.

I did my best to have some Rosy Red minnow chenille. I got Danville to choose some colors and I picked some colors, think I ended up with 7 samples and I picked 4 to have made and all are different since there is such a color difference in that minnow. PM me and when I get home this weekend I can send you pics of the chenille?

Good job and color selection.

Try to find some salmon pink faux fur. I have some that I got at J Stockard Fly Fishing. To my old eyes it looks to be a perfect match for those guppies.

Mcech, I think you hit it very close. Those should do the trick, and a nice tie.

Takeum, I believe those will work also. Your bench looks like a cleaner version of mine.
