Hey guys, I was told I should post these pics up over here to. Take a look and tell me what you think. Just started tying my own and never fished with any I have made, Just wondering if I could get a bite on this bad boy!

Lookin to c u n the next jig swap!
Looks like you found the forum :D!
That will definitely catch a crappie and that bug jig will kill some gills. Nice color choice. That chart/red is a nice contrast. Is that a marabou tail?
Those will definitly catch fish . Look good to me
Joe
yup marabou is really the only thing I have worked with for putting tails on jigs and stuff, but I see some people use saddle hackle also. I would like to try that also. So what is this jig swap Im hearing about?
Yeah, hackle makes some nice looking tails. Different action and look than marabou, but works well.Quote:

The Shellcracker swap just ended and Jig Swap 7 is going on right now. Check out the threads. We have a pretty good time with it.
Ha that sounds pretty fun, I will keep my eyes peeled for the next swap.Got three more of those jigs tied tonight, cant wait to get out and see if I can get bit!!
Luke I need to get me some of that saddle hackle to. Do you usually mix colors that much tho? We need to get together and talk tyin some more. Did you use any at Shady Side on Saturday?
