Thread: Wanted to share some pics.

Nice ties

Colors looking really good, but I guess your talking bream and while I like longer tails for crappie, not sure these are not a bit long for bream. Were the ones your catching when using tails this long? Again I do like long tails personally so not trying to pick your post apart or anything like that. Also just FYI I really like the 2nd and 3rd pic much better because the tail ends are natural looking where the first picture has the naturals ends cut off.

Yea. When I head to the rive for Bream I tote a pair of cutters and trim the hair back. If I am going to tip the jig I'll cut em back to the bend in the hook, othe wise I'll leave em a bit longer and work em with a spinner attatched. The last two are my favorite pattern for Crappie.
Thanks for the feed back. I always figure the more you learn the better you get. Of coure the better you get the more there is to learn.

Looks good! I like them shorter myself but if you are catching on them leave them alone!!

Well of course anything that is catching what your after, leave it alone, LOL!

the second and third picture are nice-looking I wouldn't be cutting any offer the tips just tie them shorter but of course if they are catching fish do nothing I'm like Skip I like some my tells a little long but I prefer a shorter tail.

I like the mickey finn knock off and the electric chicken patterns.

Ahhhh the taper of buck tail hair! It's the reason I love fishing bucktail for small mouth bass and the reason I dislike tying it. Stacking those individual hairs can be time consuming depending on the tail. I only tie it on ball collar (tying collar) jig heads size 1/16 oz or larger.
