mini doe tails and squirrel tails for dark water very tannic.

I have had good success with the all white ones. the squirrel tail ones are new and I hope they work as I have no source of doe belly fur. (My aussie white dog is getting to much clipped). I fish in brackish water that is always the color of rich tea and These lures have been better than anything else I have tried. The feather ones do not last and turn brown real fast. The Aussie fur does not wet so they look the same when wet. I also use regular thread heavy duty, the fly tyeing stuff was to breakable. I am new at this and just guessed at how to make them.

Those look pretty good. They look a lot better than the first ones I did. And if they catch fish that means "ya done real good!" I haven't tried it yet, but I've read that you can use hair treatments (like Clairol) to bleach squirrel tail hair white.

Nice looking jigs! Things will get better as you learn more and more!

enjoy it,

Good work. Stick around, you'll need a desk for all the stuff before you know it.

They look good and if they are catching you fish it doesn't t get any better. The squirrel tail jigs look nice. I like the way those jigs fish and I am going to try the bleaching also.

flatwater those jigs look good and if they are catchin fish then all else dont matter

good job sir

Squirrel Tail jigs were some of my first and remain one of my favorites.
Nice Job!
