I didn't realize that Jim.....it's very exciting to go on instinct and have great results....With proven pink and olive available...I just told my buddy I was using the white/metallic blue thread period.....The sparkle braid undoubtedly makes a difference! The glossy jig heads are better than painted.....The gold and stainless give me alot of confidence in these dark waters....I caught a few grass shrimp last week and I think each of them had a little different coloring to them....I can't argue with the success of the pink and green but the white can stand right beside them both.....Remember I have a couple black ones that will be tested this weekend as well......These baits closely resemble the local grass shrimp and who knows how many thousands of those are passing through the areas that I fish, but it is clear to me that these jigs have a place in box forever!

Hey Jeffrey...that pattern is untested...you are the first to use it, especially in the blackwaters. Glad it did good for you.
Maybe the sparkle braid bodies of these jigs are the big draw, although you said a lot of fish had green grass shrimp in their stomachs.
Watcha' think...?
