Brutal honesty appreciated

All right here it is guys. Very first tie. I need all the suggestions y’all are willing to give. This is the first attempt to putting all the knowledge I have read on here to use. Thanks in advance.

Great start. The best advice I could pass on is what I got here: work on consistency. Tail length and the transition from tail to body are two areas where consistency real shows up.

Looks good. You’re on your way.

To be totally honest, there is nothing wrong with those ties. You even got the tail length right which is what most newbies struggle with. Those jigs will catch any crappie in any state.

Thanks but anything done right on those is totally due to the knowledge I received right here on this forum.

If that is your first tie, you are way ahead of where I began my tying journey. Welcome to the addiction. Can’t wait for the fish to tell you that you did well.

It is. Wish the weather would have allowed me to try them out. I hope to be on the water tomorrow. Pictures to follow if the fish cooperate.
