My First Jigs - part one

These are numbered in the order I tied them. I am not showing numbers 1-3 as they were
absolutely horrible!


A bit out of focus... I am still learning my new camera.

Good Job!

While all of em look great… 4,5,9 & 12 are my favs. Maybe b/c I'm partial to the colors, but all'll catch fish any day of the week, no guessing about it if you've spent any time with 'em. Great work.

#9 is a very close color combo that I've tied religiously that I call The Hefner.
You really can't beat it in any water clarity when you drop it on their nose. Only combo ill try after getting beat.
Older fella I knew wldnt get in without that combo in the boat. But then again he had to have a half pint of Jack somewhere too.
Must be a good combo bc he was never wrong.…

Thanks guys for your comments!
It is only because of the great tips and examples as I have read and seen on this Forum that I was able to get
even this far along.
That, and watching several Youtube videos over and over again - -

Feelin' good about something you tied is almost as good as catchin' your first fish with one of your ties. Your gonna have fun.
