Hey Roger, what is that head on the right in the top photo? Vern, that was a sample I got from the late,great Sloedown. He said it was sapphire blue and I'm pretty sure he got it from bar lows. One of the best candy blue's I've seen yet.

Those look awesome. Great color combos that I will have to try.
I need to talk to you about how you do the different colors on your heads. I just started powder painting on Sunday and have a lot to learn. A little clear and a few tap's you can create just about anything. Holler if you need a little direction.

Jesus said to them, "Children, do you have any fish?" They answered him, "No." He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. (John 21:5,6)

One of the best candy blue's I've seen yet. Sorry Roger, although the paint IS STRIKING!, it's the lead head I'm wondering about. Is that just a chub head? I just like that profile. Where did that mold come from?

I have a lot of #10 and #12 Chenille, but also have a few colors in size #8, but still like the big stuff more unless I am tying a 1/32 oz regular head. I also think the bigger chenille let them fall a little slower on a hesitation. However I do like both! I noticed that also. A lot of my recent fish has been caught on the drop. And my cherry red head Matrix jigs has done very well. Sloow drop. Beautiful ties there!

One other thing I like more about the larger Crystal is when it gets wet and has been pulled through the water some the spikes of Crystal will start to lay back a little and then you get to see the sides of the spikes in place of the ends so you get more reflective material showing on the larger stuff. Again just my 2 cents as it all works!

Those look good Rad. The #8 looks like just the ticket for the chubs. Bet it will work better with spinner heads as well.
