    Nice jig for you first for sure! I would stop my chenille a little faster and not go past the barb and most of the time I am between the barb and the hook point. I kind of aim for the point plus a slight touch, but don't let it bother me if I hit either one.

    You definitely should catch some fish with that jig color combination is okay. Nice job for your first one hope to see more of your jig tying in the future.

    I think the jig looks pretty good. You gonna take some flack over the hook eye full of paint though.

    Anyway for the first jig that was pretty good. The eye needs cleaned and the body needs shortened. The body colors should be brown and orange.
