I noticed sometimes a person puts Flashabou or Krystal Flash on the jigs they make, and other times they don't. How do you determine which jigs get flash and which ones don't?

Sometimes it's used to put in a flash of color that may be in the chenille, kind of breaks up the solid tail

Good ?
I mostly use crystal flash, good stuff
Match the hatch - subtle - usually no flash
Attractant or stimulating patterns - flash
Baitfish patterns - flash

Wow, LedHeds explanation perfectly defines the term "concise".
I'd like to add tho that JiggerJohn taught me that for maximum metallic flash and fluttery action, can't beat original non-twisted Flashabou.

Flies - Alot of fly tyers use flash to give the impression of wings or other body parts that are see-through and not opaque. Can also use it as a shellback case to give a shiny look to a wing case on a bug pattern.
Jigs - I use either K.Flash or F.Bou in almost all of my baitfish jig patterns.

99.9 % of mine have flash..
Tails as well as the new age chenilles with the tinsels to me give more of a scale reflection..

Yeah it's great for shellback case's but ya gotta be real careful after tying off that you don't cut it too short - or you can have a mess

I use flash in a lot of my jigs. When the fish are no moving much and the bite is lite I will use a jig with no flash.
