Note: Fire Tiger has always been a hot lure color for me. Tied this way with a wide profile it imitates a sunfish. Tied with a narrow profile it works as a perch imitation. Actually, the back should be a Fluorescent Green to be a true fire tiger and I do tie up the pattern this way. I have had good luck with this pattern. Taking bass and pickerel on it. PolaFibre doesn't come in Fluorescent Green or Orange. I use permanent markers to get these colors.
