[cool][#0000ff]Thanks Lloyd. I will email the step by step pics on how I create the "PBJs" (Painted Body Jigs). I originally developed those for ice fishing, so that I could add glow to the bodies, as well as the heads. But, they have proven to be good in several styles on many waters and many species, throughout the year. I am attaching a pic of some of the other styles and colors.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The "special" chartreuse color on my jigs is a custom mix of both chartreuse yellow and chartreuse green. It is about 2 parts yellow and 1 part green. It seems to be much deadlier than either of the other colors used "out of the jar".[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The glitter is some of that "shimmer dust" I get from the candle making supply place [url "http://www.rusticescentuals.com/glitter.html"]LINK TO SOURCE[/url] where I get a lot of my fancy effects glitters. See attached pic.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You have a copy of the jig. The tail is of chartreuse CCT fibre [url "http://www.barlowstackle.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=6&User_ID=4101926&st=2132&st2=65745409&st3=68988572&Product_ID=2370&CATID=61"]LINK TO BARLOWS[/url] and a few wisps of chartreuse Krystal Flash. You had also asked about those "sickle hooks" from Matzuo. I use those a lot these days.

[#0000ff]I don't have any "writeups" on making the PBJs but I will be happy to fill in any gaps by email if you need further assistance.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Once again, it was great to finally meet someone with whom the bonds of good friendship had long ago been firmly established. Ain't modern science wunnerful?[/#0000ff]
