    Default My first posted batch for review.


    I have bought several jigs from many of you on this forum. Your talents have amazed me to say the least. Anyway I got set up about a year ago to start making my own from start to finish. I have only done three dozen or so, but I have some of the jigs I bought from this forum sitting out beside me to model after. I watched a few utube videos and bought materials from crazy angler as it was suggested from this site. It takes me a while to build one, but I know that speed will increase with practice although I will not be selling just making a few for myself and gifts for friends and family.

    So here is my latest work for review. I am proud of them and think they look good but I'm looking for suggestions of any kind. Please feel free to point out any and all little imperfections and how to fix them.

    By the way my camera is not the best for detailed work.

    Thanks

    You are doing a fine job tying your jigs. The colors all look great and like Rad said those are very good color combos to crappie fish with. Nice work

    Only one thing wrong with them that I can see. #1 they aren't tied on a line and #2 they aren't in the water. Those dogs will hunt and take some nice crappie that is for sure.

    You've done your homework, and now you're getting the benefits from it. VERY nice work, especially for first efforts. Colors are good, ties look good and tight, not too much chenille, Thread hidden well. Be sure to carry a cooler when you break those in, you're gonna need it.
