    Orange Marabou looks great plus some red flash . You would not believe how many lookers i had versus actual bites! Livescope helps but sure don’t make them bite

    Yes pretty cool that a guy can make a lure that and catch a quality fish only caught 4 , 3 were 12 inches . That particular jig i made 25 years ago poured with a regular bronze 575 . Had them in a bag of my junk they had a faded white paint job . I repainted them with ProTec and tied them up . I have been tank testing all jigs now . How they look in the water tell way more than looking at a dry jig . I think i was running the tails to long , so i pulled back on the marabou and it tank tested great . Not to say the longer tails would not work ? Thanks for the words Tim
