first jigs critique please

[skiptomylu]

He Skip try this link Punisher Craft Hair - Punisher Lures | Fishing Lures, Hair Jigs, Spinnerbaits & More!
it is listed as Grey

It doesn't really matter, but all I see is pics of colors and no names like Grey. I clicked on anything that looked close to Grey, but never saw it my self on there. I have 2 of that color already anyway and very seldom use any craft fur anyway.

Almost all the jigs I tie have a feather tail and what little hair I get orders on is either kip tail or buck tail. I believe in over the last 2 years I have only had like 3 people order a jig using craft fur.

Of the craft fur colors though I do know that Black Frost works on crappie and sometimes pretty well. I don't think I ever even tried any of the other colors.

On top of that the craft fur I bought was $1.50 each retail. I can buy the extra select wholesale for even much less than that. It was more of a curiosity thing for me with Punisher to see what they had.

BTW the Extra Select Craft Fur sells for $2 where I see the regular at $1.50 so anyone selling this stuff is making a killing on it. Maybe I should carry it on my web site, LOL! Naw, don't really want to.

Thanks though,

Skip

If you want to make sure the ends even up a little better so you don't use as much put the craft hair in a fly tyers hair stacker. You'll use a lot less.

One of the hardest things I`ve had to learn is it does not take as much materials as you think.The jigs work much better and catch more fish with a with a smaller profile and more natural action.....Tknight

Sometimes "Less is more." Crappie Keith is right in steering you to the archives. Both Skip and I have shared a ton of information in the archives. There is also a ton of additional information on the CD that Bob Spare and I created.
