have you noticed you can't find large flo chartreuse chenille?
Barlows and Gander Mt both had it last time I was there.
I'll have to double check Barlows, and Gander Mt is a new one on me. Thanks Tex!
Rats! No dice, Barlows only has yellow flo chartreuse, I'm looking for green, couldn't find it at Gander.

Is that what you're looking for ??? If nothing else, look around on the site, order a free catalog, or check on smaller amounts of flo green chenille (if the 72yds deal is too much).

Ok, theres 2 kinds of chartreuse- green and yellow. All I can find is yellow in Large. Why this is I don't know. But if any of ya'll ever run into it, please lemme know.
Did you see the link CP posted?
Check Janns Netcraft, they have all kinds of colors!!

Barlows has it.It is listed under the Flourescent Chenille the color code is 48 I just got some in and it is green chart.
Yes, Barlows does have it!
I use it all the time.
Here is the link:
FISHING TACKLE for bass fishing, crappie, walleye, trout.Fishing lures, fishing hooks, lead molds. BARLOWS FISHING TACKLE.
Like fishhunter said the color code is 48
They need a better picture I never bought chenille from there yet but I would be afriad to order that if I wanted green cause that looks very yellow on my computer anyway.

Ah hah! Jiggin Joe hit the nail on the head. Barlows may advertise it, but that is yellow if I ever saw it. Fatman pinned it down for me elsewhere on the web, thanks again FM!!
No Problem, glad to be of help.

If I had know Monday you could have ordered it with me from Danville. Ordered a bunch of chenille then. I have that color in size #2, but they make it up to size #12 which is huge. The size goes by 2's after size #6 so they make #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #10 & #12. The bigger it is the more it cost.Quote:

Skip your using size 2, as in 2mm? Eh, doesn't matter, we use the same jigs but I was thinking more like 4 or 6. But I have noticed that rarely is everyone on the same page when it comes describing chenille size in their ads.
Size #2 is perfect for a 1/16 oz. jig and needs double wrap for 1/8 & 1/4 oz. Some call it Medium, but here is the size chart and just because I use size #2 if you want 2 skeins I can get any size you want of most any color. Actually I use some 2mm Crystal Antron and I think it is a tad smaller than size #2 I use in regular chenille, but not positive about that.Quote:

4 is getting pretty large and most call it large, but #6 I don't see at any fly or tying shops, but I can get it from Danville if you ever want any.

hey Skip, can you post a pic of one of those size 2's on one of grousefly's 1/16th heads?
I'm with Ship I use size 2 or Medium. Works great for me

My problem is- the act of equating everything into a crappie jig from all my fly tying stuff and the massive array of people I have bought it all from over the last 10 or more years. And I still have this odd compulsion to put fly patterns on jigs, no matter how much I fight it, it's like an illness.
Sure here is one version of Electric Chicken tied with #2 Chenille...Quote:

And one other. I do believe both are on 1/16 oz heads.

Nothing wrong with tying fly patterns on jig heads!! some of the nymph patterns work well as well as a RS2 pattern.
Sorry Skip, had a finger fart.
Fatman
That is too funny! No problem really!Quote:
