looks good maachu.. looks real good in my opinion. I wouldnt change a thing

I think they look good also.

nice work!

Got flash? LOL! Joking man. Only say this b/c in my neck of the woods we have clear/very clear water conditions and flash is used sparingly.

They look good. If you have a proven pattern, I personally think "how do they look?" rarely impacts the fishability unless the feather, flash or fur is falling out. It looks like you are using fine/size 0 chenille, you may want to try medium/size 2 which is larger and would require less wraps/overwraps. But like I originally said they look fine to me.

good work...Thats a real popular jig style with the flash..on your way to bass pro shop fame.

oh,, and clean those eyes brother. just sayin

They look fine, but I would take the chenille to the hook point at least and I usually go for that hook point or between that and the barb depending on hook size. The larger or longer the hook shank the less I try to get past the hook point.

However I see no reason they wouldn't catch fish.

On the flash thing, I make some flash tail jigs too, but my normal jig with flash would have just on small strip down each side of the tail. I do like using some flash chenille for a tail some and even some Krystal Flash tails that are all Krystal Flash.
