Took me awhile to finish this one, but I figured I would lay all of them out for a picture before I packed them up to ship!
1/32-oz hackle
1/16-oz hackle or marabou
1/8-oz bucktail
1/4-oz bucktail

We fish a lot of pretty dirty water here, so I tend to "lean" toward darker or brighter colors and avoid naturals or stuff that won't stick out. Comments, constructive criticism always welcome!

YJ, got 8 dozen more heads in the oven right now to tie up tomorrow! :) Then after that, I've got a couple hundred kiptail jigs I've had on the back burner that HAVE to get done as soon as possible. Oh, then the 3 dozen flies..... ;) Gotta stay busy! (I kinda like it. Keeps me outta trouble!)

The red/black/chart looks nice - is a combo i haven't tried but will.

I still lean toward dark colors in the mud. Can't beat all black ( w/ red flash a plus :P ) but no one ever wants to buy an all black jig, they want the brighter colors..... never understood it.

looks like you pretty much got it covered from every angle. Know what ya'all mean about the muddy water. Here even if the water looks clear the bottom is muddy . Oh there are a few places the water is clear but not that many .

Attica, the red/black/chartreuse is our #1 combo at one lake we fish. Pink/black/blue is the one that REALLY does it at another one. My new "favorite" thing is black head, black body, and change up the color of the tail.... Orange, chartreuse, and pink are my favorites.

Fatman, I went through a couple bucktails.... ;)
