> Dave, Those will do the job; however, if I had only one color to fish for shad with, I would use chartreuse Estez as the body material. Over the pase 4 years I have caught more shad than I can count, on a # 6 1xl hook, chartreuse estez body, white dumbell eyes, short white marabou tail. I will post a picture later.

I don't have any chartreuse, pink, or orange chenille so I went with as much flash as I could get. These are tied on a bunch of 1/32 oz jig head hooks I got on ebay. The tail is tinsel I got from a craft shop and hte body is just wrapped flashibou. On some of them I have this orange flashy stuff I tied in as a collar. They don't look like the one i've seen others use and the only way I'll find out if they work is if I try them but I wondered if anyone has tied anything simliar and had success? If so I'll keep batching them out, otherwise I may go out an buy some of the bright flashy chenille I see on most shad darts...
