Nicks Electric Chicken

Tying a pretty simple crappie jig - YouTube

ideo of me tying an electric chicken. critique is appreciated!

like that electric chicken thanks for showing it:fish

Camera is too close to the jig, but your shirt is in focus really well, so don't get the jig that close. You tie a bit different than I do. I take the thread bac to the head after each thing you do. My thread base startes like your, but I clip my tag before you do, but I still wrap over wher I cut it and go about to where you did, but then I wrap back to the head before the next step of tying in the tail. You can tie like you want so don't get me wrong, but putting a video on you tube I would do the basics like fly tyers do. Lots of people learn to tie by watching ou tube videos and personally I would teach it a little different than you did.
also probably should mention that your using neck hackle for both tail and collar which is okay, but the collar is better with a saddle hackle which is more narrow and also just a tiny bit more stiff. I would recommend you spend a little time with lessons like the ones on FAOL to Learn how they tie their materials in and what they use for different things. I know they are tying flies, but they still use chenille on some and they have to tie it in just like we do, but they technically are tying things in right and personally I would do it like they do so I get the best jig I can tie. You do so much right and it probably works for you and that is fine.

still not all that bad and I feel sure it will still catch fish.

Thanks guys and thanks skip for the tips.

I agree Skip, the lessons on FAOL are very good and will make you a better tyers all around.
You are doing good PF and it always helps to learn all you can, keep up the good work.:)
