CA suggested this combo for the "Champ" chenille I got. His suggestion was for Fork. I like it, I think it should do well on Palestine too

Saaaweet, I've never thought of blue with brown.....let us know how it works If ya would.....

It's quite a bit lighter than it looks in the pic. More of a yellow brown. I'll definately let you know how it does

Looks good...

Now that is a good looking jig! That color combo is one of my favorites on Fork. Great Job!

Thanks man! Fork ain't too far from Palestine it ought to work there too, we'll see

Looks good and works great!! I put that same body and tail on a fluorescent yellow head.

Champ is a top chenille on all of the east Texas lakes. And in the water it is almost a chart-black after getting wet, and works best with my bunch with a dark grey tail that has been recolored with a light blue marks-a-lot. This will fish all of the way down to the 1/48 and 1/64th jig on the number 4 hook. But is best on a eagle claw 574 {#4} which is a 1 extra long hook as a 1/16th. On this one I use a salt water marabou over 5 inch's long and both number 3 and 5 chenille. The number 2 will not hole up on this jig. Tie the number 3 in over the tail starting at head, all of the way to almost the bend and then tie in the number 5 the same way stopping just short of hook point. Tie the #3 all of the back to head over lapping the #5 being sure its tight and lock down and then rap the #5 to head and lock down. This jig is about 3 inch's long and has a lot of big fish to its credit last few months. I do it with the black chrome head but am sure it would work with any. The reason this jig needs the #3 chenille is to hold the marabou out of the hook bend, and I use clear-cure-goo to lock the chenille down but sure super glue would work ok.

Thanks slabbedsilly!
Larry post up a pic of love to see it

Good looking combo.

Thanks AK

I just ordered 2 packs of Champ (should be here today)! That should be a KILLER combo on Palestine. I'm going dock shooting Sat so I'll give it a go! It is definitely a good combo on Winnsborro & Hawkins!

Awesome Pepop! Let me know how it goes
