Hiding the thread question
How do yall hide the thread when finishing the jig? I can still see my thread after i do the whip finish and i really don't like the way it looks.

Try flat wax thread. It allows you to really pull the thread once you finish and by it stretching a little in buries under the chenille.

Yes wax, I am kind of on auto when it some to thread so didn't include that, but for a new guy he probably needs to know that. Good job!

Switch to monofilament thread unless you are making a thread neck. It's clear, so the color shows through. It's easier to hide, and makes out stop you don't need as many colors. Plus it's cheap. You can buy a 400 yard spool at fabric stores for less than $3. Wonderful stuff.
Don't worry, catch crappie.
