With 4" of snow and ice

You can tell I have a lot of time on my hands.
I made this one to attract those large males. I call her LadyJessiBelle.

I hate when I whip finish and then see the thread wrapped around the eye.

rtark,
Jig looks good.
I like the colors.
That's a good way to spend the time with the white outside.
Stay warm and safe.

PS Bet the fish won't even see the thread around the eye - if they do it might help make bite it !
PPS Sometimes it is easier to use a Matarelli style whip finisher than fingers that are not as nimble as they once were.

Now that is one of my pet peeves and really makes me want to cuss a lot. However you can fix it if you want. Just may show more thread though. Just wrap the thread a few time around next to the head and do a good whip finish and add glue again. That way if that thread breaks or gets cut the jig may still hold together??

I have on a few occasions even not seen that I had a thread wrap that went completely around the hook point area and I don't have a fix for that except cut it all off and start over.

Maybe I'm seeing things but looks like there is a crappie already sizing that jig up for dinner.

I like it.Nice touch with the eyelashes.Not that it matters,especially with all the snow and ice,but I would put the eyelashes on the other side of the eye,more realistic to those male slabs. I think we all need to get out more,for sure.

Thats what I use. My big ole rough fingers would snag the thread.
I did get the eyelashes upside down didn't I? LOL

Hit the thread with some glue or H A N and trim it off. The fish wont care. Nice tie Ray.

weather it is tied or glued you need to hold on because something is going to tear that jig up ,nice tye
