I want to dress up my Jig Hook Minnow fly with Bluegill/Sunfish color versions, using magnum barred zonker strips shown below. (1 thru 5)
What are your recommendations for color combinations with various ESTAZ body colors?

Thanks in advance,
George Glazener

Is that the Barracuda I see you tying on? How do you like it?

I am seriously thinking about one.

Thats what I looked at, I like the jr for the fact that I can travel with it easier.
