Came Up with a Perfect Gill Immatation !!

[SaltyBuckster]

I had all of these 2 ozers sitting around so I figured I would tie them up and get them put away.I threw these colors together on a roundhead and while checking it out,I said to myself,"That looks just like a bluegill".I know that I have to downsize a little.But here it is.Olive on top,followed by tan all around and an orange belly with red pearl flash.All bucktail,I'm going to try some 1/32's with kiptail and use an olive head that I custom mixed with powder.I heard that perch like tasty little bluegills as much as I do,lol.

Here's the first 1/32 oz. looks like it will catch a couple.We'll see.I'm making 6 of them,had to get my fingers loosened up first with that first one.lol.Trying to get the chartruese tip in the tail.

The second one was much better.Here's the little perch killer right now.
