Tying jigs and watching football...

[Crappieawlogist]

Hey all.....just started tying last week...I think I'm addicted...couple of questions for the experts..
1. I've read that too long of a tail will cause short bites/missed fish.....any of these two long?
2. I bought a buch of stuff (really cheap) called KinkyFiber...Anybody use it...what do you think of it? the first jig in the pics is tied with it and the red jig has some in it....
3. In general...how much is too much when it comes to Marabou? and how much trimming do you do?
and Last (for now)
4. How much of the marabou feather is actually usable? The last jig is basically from a bunch of scrap that was leftover....

Have a look at this first batch....anything you see that is wrong....lemme know..that's how I learn...
