Note: This is a general pattern for wide body minnows. This color combination was based on a lure color called Tennessee Shad. When I tie it these days, I cut down on the Chartreuse and mix in some light blue and lavender, and make the Olive a little thinner. I also used a Circle hook for this pattern, but it can be tied on any short or regular shanked wide gape fresh or salt water hook.
