    Talking First attempt at tying jigs


    This is my first 4 jigs. I know their ruff but let me know what y'all think. Tips pointers whatever u call it, I'll take any help I can get. They may not be very pretty but I'm proud of them

    Looks like a fine job for your first tyes. The tail on the third jig is to long for my liking but some fisherman likes them long. Welcome to tying.

    I agree the third one has a rather long tail but still those are pretty good for first ties. You will like the jig tying forum here on crappie.com and should frequent there often.

    My first ones I tied were terrible. I have gotten much better from reading the jig tying forum. Last year I started making soft plastic baits. 45 years ago I started making ice jigs and teardrops. Welcome to the hobby.

    Really the place for this is the Jig Tying Board and you will have a lot more guys that tie there and probable get more feed back.
