Just tied my first 2 jigs.

Thanks for the comments. I can't wait to go catch with them. I tied a few late last night. I added some flashabou to the first jig I tied and tried a few more by mixing the different colors of flashabou to give them a rainbow sparkle. I tied one with peacock feathers and chartreuse. The colors are amazing on it. The picture does not do it justice. I will tie one with a black body tonight. I even tied on using a squirrel tail and one from an old road runner head .Here are some pictures of them.

Look good to me. I agree with Skip. Use the powder paint and there are many places to get materials. Folks here can turn you on to some supplies. I use EBay a lot lots of timing material to be found there

Looks great, I order most of my stuff for barlows, crazy angler, and bass pro.

You know fish love that peacock big time, I have used it some for crappie, but it's also pretty weak materials. Still love it and catching is what counts right?

Lookinh forward to talking to you!

I found out it isn't peacock. It is one of the most expensive feathers to buy. It is a tough feather. My mother designs and sell hats wholesale and she has been saving her damaged feathers. She has every feather imaginable. I also put in an order for a few materials that my kit was missing. In a few minutes I will post a few I tied a while ago.

Welcome to the hobby. Putting your on spin on the jigs you tie keeps it interesting.

Great job ! It feels good when you catch one on a lure you made yourself. The best lures don't come from stores and they don't have patents and trademarks and such. The best lures come from guys that love to fish . They make me and they use them.

Yep - powder paint is pretty amazing stuff!

Skip this is a picture of that feather and a few jigs I tied watching the tube tonight. My wooden TV tray makes a good tying table.

This is a jig made from hair off my boarder collie. Its a Scooby Jig

This is a wasp I tried with a little red flashabou.

This is the feather I was telling you about Skip
