Red/Chartreuse has always been a great combo. The bodies on the ones to the right didn't turn out like I wanted but the fish ain't gonna care.

Always a good color combo. I must say that I hate to see a custom tied jig with paint in the eyes. It seems that a lot of jigs you buy at the stores have painted eyes and it always peeves me off to have to clean a eye when I'm fishing. One good thing about tying your own is that we clean the eyes when tying, just one of my pet peeves.

Man get the sunglass's!!!!!!!!!LOL Nice ties Andy!! X2 on the eyes. If you're trying to layer the chenille colors an easier way might be to tie them both in and then twist them together!! depending on how tight you wrap it may line right up for you.

Yeah I hear y'all on the hook eye thing. I usually always clean them out before they go from the rack to my jig boxes. Most of the time unless they are ones I dip I dont paint the eyes at all. I had been tying in two colors of fine chenille, twisting them and wrap but the first one of these I tied I tried wrapping them side by side. For whatever reason I tied the other two in the same crappy manner so they would match.:)
