New paint caterpilliar experiment

[smalljaw]

This is a 1/16oz caterpilliar tie as I wanted to try some new paint but my materials to use with it are on back order but the chenille worked so this is what I tied with it. The jig is a 1/16oz walleye head painted with silver vein paint and then tied with gray shad twisted chenille and black hackle for a completed caterpilliar. This was an experiment to see how well this new silver vein worked on a small jig and it came out ok, at least better than I expected.

The silver vein looks good with that one!

Thanks all, I like the silver vein paint and I've been trying it on a buch of jigs and what I found is the 1/16oz is about the smallest jig that it actually works on, any smaller and you don't get the vein effect.

That is a nice jig. The color mixes very well, nice tying!

Try doing a candy over the vein.
