Nylon Hair Color

[Bend-Lure]

For years I ran all white parachutes with white shad on one side of the boat, and all chartruese parachutes with chartruese shad on the other side. I killed fish. Then over the last few years I have been experimenting with different color combinations like multi-color hair, shad not matching the hair color, different head colors, multi color shad. I have caught significantly fewer fish since starting to experiment with colors. April 16 I am going back to all white on one side and all chartruese on the other. Its fun to experiment but the standards are the standards for a reason.

Bend - Lure , IMHO there are just less Rock out there - might not be your lure colors.

It does seem each season there are " hot " color combos. Trick is dialing it in early.

One year - I tore them up with chartreuse parachutes and bright yellow shads.

Last year - it seemed white with green glitter was good. Few years before - purple glitter crushed them.

Figures. I always seem to be a day late. Last year I had all purple and green glitter baits and didn't catch a thing

Don- Keep us posted on how the mylar works out. Where did you find it?

I'm going to ask a very dumb question:

Could you take an old mylar balloon and run it through a paper shredder to get the long strands needed for some of these lures?
