Me likley...
Sweet!
Lemon drop! Cool looking bait, great paint job!
Very nice! A whole lot better than my first try. I have noticed though everyone using larger size jig than me, I guess size does matter…..lol
looks good
Very nice
Dave ,,exactly! Temperature on small jigs is harder to control,,,,big ones are way easier…Quote:

Very nice. You got it !
The yellow body and dark tail is a winner down here and I think the crinkle head is just a plus. Nice looking jig.
Nice! I like the crinkle, but what chenille is that? (Im a sucker for new chenille lol
Tree,,,,I believe it’s one of woods and waters custom called Lemon Ice,,,,

It looks darker on the WW website. I looked at it. I placed a WW order last week. I'd order some but that $9 shipping deters me from shopping there often. lol
I wait to order until I need several items to justify the shipping cost. Ordering one or two chenilles it would cost as much in shipping as the product. Usually it doesn't take long to have more "I want" ... I mean I need things. :Rofl
I usually have a weekly order with Nimrod lol. His stock has gotten pretty low on things I want or like. I have a pretty good supply of the usuals though. If he gets something new in, I normally bite, and grab a couple extra of my regulars as well. I bought him out of Monkey Milk. He's got one other color I probably need to buy more of, but I've got about 5 packs of it.
I've bit the bullet and have bought several skeins of different chenille. Figure I'm good for a long long time.

I could be wrong but it looks more like Fluorescent Yellow Pearl to me. The first picture shows them side by side.
Yellow pearl and lemon ice are some of my favorite in yellows,,that and mayfly,,,,
Both of them are nice....nice and bright. :ThumbsUp They make pretty jigs.
Looks good.
Yeah - smaller the better sometimes in the case of fish biting! LOLQuote:
