Don't give up so quick. My first one was horrible but you know what? It caught fish! still carry it on the console of my pickup! go barbless with your jigs. Haven't used squirrel yet so no comment on that. I don't use a whip finisher, too frustrating I knot by hand. I know I know, Skip and Snake are going to get all over me but hey, I'm having fun, and so should you.

I think your first ties are just fine!
