The first few dozen weren't that great but feel like im doing pretty good now,anf learn something nee with each one.plus im getting faster i was taking 15 min per jig now down to to 3-5 min. Please give me any constructive comments to help me better. Thanks.

    Thay look pretty good so your doing fine. The only thing I would say is take the feathers off the stem on marabou so it will have even better action. I will leaf a stem in every once in a while, but most of my marabou jigs will not have any stem at all.

    Flinger, you're doing a fine job. The right amount of flash and the tails look good. I'd be surprised if they didn't catch fish. Time to try some hackle jigs.

    I really like your ties. Looks like you did your homework and already catching fish. Nothing like that feeling of accomplishment. I am a marabou fan because the way it breaths in the water and I like the chenille up like you are tying. I have been catching a lot of fish on pink,white and chartreuse. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks all for the comments, and i already learned that about the no stem in the maribou.
    This is one i caught on the first cast with the squirrel tail, the red/white bucktail at bottom of pic is one of my ugly first ones, but still caught a few fish

    Your jigs are looking good. I like a squirrel tail jig at times and all hair jigs work well in cold water. Nice crappie also.
