Can't decide

[Pepop]

Between head colors & chenille colors. I'm tying up some natural pheasant feathers and I'll try several combinations but let's hear some opinions. Here's 3 I tied up last night

I'm really liking that bottom one. That's Crazy Angler's Texas Toast chenille.

Nice ties!!! I find the easiest method for me is to lay my jig heads out and then put materials next to them and if they all look good tie one up. Others I know exactly what I want to do.

The bottom one I really like!!!!!!!!! Only thing I'd change is use less barbs from the pheasant tail. They'll move lots more in the water.

The one in the middle is nice but if I had to pick a pheasant feather to go with those colors - I'd want a couple of the feathers - blueish in color that are on the pad right in front of the tail feathers

The mix on the first one actually looks better the more I look at it.

Have to get me some of the Texas toast chenille - looking at the colors on my monitor, reminds me of Fire Tiger mix

Nice work Vern, I would tie up 6 of each, and let the fish tell you which one they like best....

 

[Jig Man]

Thanks for all the kind words & pointer's. I'm gonna tie up a few variations with the Texas Toast tonight to take out with me tomorrow.

All of the colors look great and I would pick the toast for my fishing also. Awesome tying.

Another vote for Tex Toast - with all the colors in that chenille mix, there are a few different head colors that might look good with it. Could go totally natural with it also.

What color is the orange paint on that one - looks like it has glitter in it?

 

[Fatman]

Thinking about it more - that might be one chenille that will work really well with natural furs, as Attica pointed out with all the colors in it!!

Texas Toast

That's Real CrawOrange PP106 from Crazy Angler. That's the 1 color I'm having trouble finding anywhere else. Just ordered another jar.

 

[Fatman]

Check Columbia Coatings Kubota Orange TGIC, it's pretty close

Copperhead, Ruby Slipper, or maybe even Dragonfly PP could be great with that TX Toast chenille..... or just black. Killer ties, man.

Those will ALL catch fish! You're gonna make me get my pheasant feathers and fox tail out......

To heck with picking. Those are all good-looking jigs. Fish them all and let the fish decide.
