your jigs look good for a beginner. personally i prefer marabou or bunny fur over hackle feathers.

that wooleyb is an exact match for what we used to slay big rainbows back in washington state. one of them guys and a bb sized splitshot kick-trolled behing the float tube and you could count on at least 3 or 4 nice bows any day of the week. olive was the only color that would consistantly work.
