    Default My first week tying. Pics


    Here is pics of my first week tying jigs. I just had jigs w/ collars so I snipped the collars off and chipped some of the paint on the heads. Also I only had black thread to start and no good scissors other than big pairs so I couldn't trim real close. Any how tell me what you think what do you see wrong what do you see that is good if anything. I can take good critisicm just remember this was the first 4 nights of tying in my life. The smaller jigs are 1/80 for ice fishing they are the latest ones I did. Picked the heads up and some thread to match my colors. Also got a good pair of sccisors.

    try an exacto knife also, you can cut way close and it will hide the thread alittle better. Keep at it buddy.You know the number call it if you have any questions.!!!!

    Good job of first time tying! Those will all catch fish.As you continual to tie you will develope a techinque based on what you catch on certain jigs. Lots of fun and even more when someone ask you "What you catch those fish on?" and you say its a homemade lure I make!

    Doing good for the first week theres enough there for catching slabs and losting some to the log fish and rock fish that you will nodoubt incounter.Keep up the good work. Listen to Pbug's construtive critcisim as it is good advice. BTW Thread is a inexpencive tying item.

    Do you match the thread to the head or to the body?

    You have already got a lot of jigs to fish with. Good color combos too. You have been busy for your first week of tying.
    Match your thread with the chenille.
