Christmas tree

[quivira kid]

Alright, I have heard about this color combo a few times, but nobody really touts it here. Is it as great as I have heard? Anybody here use it on a regular basis???

Well tell ya what it has been the no 1 selling jig here since i was a kid . That is well over 50 years . The last year or two its is being talked about like something new . If you live long enough old becomes new again .

No truer words were ever spoken! When I was a kid I was really skinny and all my pants used to fall down and my underwear was forever showing, I didn't realize it back in the day but I started a trend that is now popular, it only took 40 years to catch on....On a serious note I've seen the color "Christmas Tree on soft plastics but I never saw a jig with the same color combos.

In this area for a Mylar Trollin Duster there was a Christmas Tree and was really popular.

the christmas tree i have seen and tied is Red, Kelly green, and yellow . I have also seen Red, kelly green, and black called christmas tree...

Brent/Zac, what's the color combo in your neck of the woods?

We tye the semi auto in red, green, & chartreuse crystal flash. Catch a lot of BGs & REs and some CCs with that color combo.

The old time Christmas tree colors are . Red head , Kelly Green body , Yellow tail . I'll try to tie one when I get home . Post a pic if nobody beats me to it . LOL

Hunter turned me onto the combo when he taught me to tie.
One of my favorites.
I tie mine w/ an orange head though.

Havent been tying or fishing but here's some old pics

Thanks Lost

Here is my "what I had handy to make it" attempt... 1/32-oz, plain red PP, Crazy's Arkansas Shiner chenille, and fl yellow hackle.

 

[redear]

I made a few in 1/32, flame red head, kelly green chenille, and fl. yellow marabou. they caught crappie pretty good too, but I never fished stained water with it, and I think that is where it will shine.

View attachment 2Finally got home to tie this . This is the one the only color for a true Christmas tree jig . any other colors or variations ain't it . Every thing you see is at least a decade old materials . Just for the heck of it .

Most contrast possible....... almost as good as black & white. Red & green are on opposite sides of the color spectrum. Pink & chart. are also on opposite ends. Purple & yellow too.

 

[Fatman]

Thanks for the close up of that Toad!!! I got a big package of chenille and rubber skirting material off one of my fly boards and it has a bunch of different greens, your pic will help me match it up.

These are the colors I use for the "Christmas Tree" Jig.

 

[Fatman]
