Welcome to jig tying it can be rewarding,frustrating,expensive(watch for sells)(jannsnetcraft,crazyangler,barlows tackle,white river tackle shop).You can make colors you cannot buy at wal-mart or other tackle shops. LET THE FISH TELL YA!! Keep one jig back for future reference.They kind of get lost until thats the last one and a fish breaks it off.
Those are a nice start. Keep practicing.

Those grey ghost turned out pretty nice. The fish around here love them.
All I can say is keep trying and keep reading every thing you can! There is a lot of info you need for this hobby as your finding out early!
Still good work for a new guy,
Skip
by next spring you will be a professional at tying jigs you have the best teachers in the world here.
Your Ties Are Looking good. I find too that BPS is not allways the best. I have nothing but the best experience with Nimrods tackle. He is here on crappie.com.
Good Start! Youtube is you friend for learning new techniques. I've learned more through the years by looking on there than anywhere. Another good thing to do even if you may never tie flies is to learn the techniques fly tiers use to tie flies. You will be surprised at how much fly tying can be used on tying jigs too.
Keep us posted on your progress! Looking good thus far!
Welcome to the hobby pastor. You are never a failure as long as you are trying. Your first wraps are much better than my first ones were. Have fun.
