Don't laugh to hard.

This is my first attempt. I have a long way to go, and any feed back will be appreciated.

looks good for ur first 1. IMO i would have used more tail. looks good

Not bad for a first tie. Mine was way worse. Keep it as a momento, look at it a year from now an compare the difference!!!

looks like those lures I've seen at BPS can't remember the name, etc., but come in 1 or 2 to a pack. looks pretty good to me. Guess the real test is if it will catch a fish. GL

WHAT?!?
y laugh? That bird'll fly. Dont listen to that first or last jig mumbo jumbo. Guarantee it'll catch. All the colors are there. Profile is great. It's neat n clean. Great jig.

I'm not an expert and will never claim to be so take my advice with a grain.
I try to keep as much,as possible, of my thread hidden away. Only bc im always fishing something heavy wooded. But the red in Urs gives a blood like line which is always good, to me. Dunno if it is, but I'd hit it thick w/ some cement, glue or epoxy unless you're casting and counting down free of abrasion.

But you know how to catch fish. I've seen some of your posts.

Welcome to odd world.
Dont know much but always willing to share what I know if ya want.

Great work.

Good advice so far...

Colors are great.I agree with hiding the thread,and a little more tail feathers,but great first one !!!!!

All great points, and thanks for the encouragement. I have head cement coming with the order that I placed today, along with a collarless mold and a few other things. I know I will have to work on hiding the thread. What is the easiest way to do that?

Thats a nice jig. You're off to a killer start!

After you trap the thread you only need 4 whip finish to finish the jig. Like everyine else said. Just a little more tail. If that were mine, I'd cut a 1/2" off what you have. I don't like short strikes.

come spring i will have been tying a year and i can go look back at the first jigs i tied and say WOW is tht the same person tying? it looks AWESOME for u first 1 i can rember my first 1 UGLY IT WAS!
