very very nice, and I like those colors. Never had much faith in blue until someone turned me on to kalin 2" triple threat grubs, in the black blue and chartruese combo. I'll never underestimate that color again. That chenille looks like the stuff I use alot of, in the same color,it catches fish too. anyway, you will do well at this hobby, and thats not necessarily too much marabou, just depends on what the fish want. The marabou is pretty fragile stuff, and as you use it, the tail will get sparser and sparser, especially if you get a few bites, so I tend to put plenty on my jigs too. You can pull some out at the last minute, It breaks off easily. The only thing I would do just a little different, not that it matters, is to put one more wrap tite against the jighead, and tie it down with about five wraps, then when you whip finish, just wedge the wraps in between the chenille and the head. If you use chart. thread with chart chenille, and crowd the head with the chenille, and wedge the whip finish out of sight, the chenille will have a nicer transition to the head.I use at least a 3/0 thread, because 6/0 will break alot when whip finishing about seven wraps and pulling tite. monocord 3/0 is real nice stuff.
