Nice lookin jigs, steve!
Neat looking jigs Steve and welcome to CrappieDotCom. I've used bead chains before but never with a lead head but if they catch fish, so be it. They do look good, just different.

Good looking jigs. Aren't those collars tough. I have a time with mine, but it is getting easier. I'd like to see a closer view of the 1/64 jigs. They look real good.
I can't see the pics
Looking good Steve.

Good looking jigs Steve. Ya got the right colors
and nice work tying!! Fish catchers for sure!
Nice-looking jigs especially the third picture down I never tried that but I thinking about doing that now.
your jigs look great Welcome to crappie.com Im a newbie been here only a little while but love it. I have learned alot, got some great ideas, joined my first ever jig swap and even made some new friends. Keep up the good work.
My thoughts exactly!!! I'd love to see a closer pict of those 1/64's as well.Quote:

Thanks for the great comments guys.The collars are tough.I still havent figured how to make them all look right.Guess it takes alot more time making them.As for putting the beadchain on the bottom-theres really no reason i did it.I think it was just easier at the time because with the hook in the vise that is the top and i didnt know if they would get in the way of the hook eye.The fish dont seem to mind and i dont think it would make a difference either way.
Haha, thats why i ask questions. Never thought how it would be sitting in the vise - Never thought of it getting in the way of the string or even the open gap for hook sets - AND, i know i'm way pickier than the fish! :o lol Thanks for answering my question. :) I will give some a try for sure......
Great looking jigs keep tying
