Will post some pics later of some jigs with a few years of Tying experience. The ones above are the first ones I tied several years ago that started my addiction to tying. Even the ugly ones with many mistakes when learning have caught fish for me.
We like all of them Jared. We are gonna have to make it over to see your jig making equipment. Wyatt is already talking about what colors he would use if we were to start making our own

Nice looking jig DOFC, and a fine job of posting a pic.
Jared,
How effective are the blades on the jigs, and do they justify the additional cost? Do you prefer willow leaf to Colorado type blades?
Thanks,
Gary
Nice looking jigs. I bought the jigheads from lightwirehooker powder painted them and now that retirement has set in and I used to tie flies for trout. This inspires me to give it a try for crappie.
The blades are pretty cheep to add. I think a 100 blades, 100 crane swivels and 100 snap rings will cost you less than $10. So only adds a dime a piece to the jigs. It is deadly in dirty water dipping trees. I like the nickel willow blades but that is just my preference. Not sure it makes any difference. Either one will add some flash and some noise when shaking them. You can also tie in glass rattles to the body of jigs. makes a nice big body. We have all the components at the store and can ship if needed. We are going to get the Everhart's online store fired up pretty quick and add items as we go. I think we are going to start with molds, hooks, and all other components used for building jigs. The focus will be crappie items for a while and see how the online sales go. Then start building/adding other items.
Glad you got to try them out, congrats.
I just started last winter to help pass the time and give me some focus for my fishing energy for when I couldn't fish. It is a lot of fun to play with different things and see which ones work the best.
What happens on the lake... makes for good stories at least
