    Maybe with the smaller jig heads you should try small chenille especially when trying to do some dual chenille type jigs. I now sometimes it's hard to keep the body from being larger than the head, but at least try. Especially with Crystal Antron which I am guessing some one pointed out to you. It comes in a smaller size and that stuff is a little large on your size jig heads especially using 2 colors on the body.

    Crystal Antron is probably the easiest chenille to make a pretty jig that there is and I use it a lot on my personal jigs and if my customers knew the difference they would probably pay the small difference I charge for it.

    Your jigs look pretty good basically, but the real test is when you catch fish on them and then no matter how they look you have a couple of things to consider and a couple are...
    Do the crappie like them?
    Do they hold up well and stay together fish after fish?

    I expect my jigs to be able to handle over 100 fish unless the fisherman is like me and loses it before it gets to 100, LOL!

    Anyway keep tying and trying to improve as you get more experiance and learn little things that help you work.

    Over all not bad if you are new to tying.
