You are off to a very good start, nice looking jigs. Fatman those are Road Runner heads as all of them have painted swivels but they do work well and I'm sure they have the barb.
They can be a pain to tie on and make look good and even but you did a good job with your chenille. While tying on the Road Runners with a barb a small chenille works well or just use a thread neck.
Welcome to Crappie.com and to the never ending art of tying.
