My Favorites...Critique and Comments Welcome...

Said I'd post these so here we go. Starting with only a few. Sending them up to NC to my aunts and uncles shop, hope they sell.

The marabou is about 1/4" longer than I usually like but I rolled with it...some folks like it longer and with the bigger hook sizes I think it'll be fine. Tied these in 1/8th oz and the same in 1/32nd oz, waiting on the head cement to dry.

Sorry for the cell phone pic...

white pearl/silver tinsel/gray
green chart/black/green chart
white pearl/white and silver variegated/white
pink/black/pink
black/green chart/green chart
orange/coffee/yellow chart

Any comments? Improvements ect? Will get some packaging printed up if they start selling good...and want to add a few more patterns if they do.

Dang that picture sucks...the silver ones look 100 times better in person with lighting.

I think they look real good. Just be careful that the marabou doesn't loose shape in the bags. Good job

I have had some marabou take weird angles sitting against something, lol. Will tell them to arrange them straight and pretty when they hang them up. Thanks.

I think your jigs should be a "HOT" item at your aunt and uncles shop. Good colors!!

Taking pictures of jigs in plastic bags defintely takes away from their true colors. They look great and look even better out of the plastic bags I'm sure.

Thanks guys. I think if some crappie fishermen come by, they'll sell. That's why I have so many bright colors as attention getters. Whenever I see a chartreuse or hot pink I just have to go poke my nose in and see what it is. :D

Lemme know if I can help ya out CrappieJohn.

Tip

Heres a tip. Wet the maribou, so it sticks together. Then let them dry, all stuck together. Now lay them across the bottom of the bag and roll the bag up. Secure it with a small piece of masking tape (easier than scotch to find and remove). This will ensure they arrive nice 'n' straight. Nice job on color combos.

Nice color choices. Pics out of the bag next time. I like the tinsel chenille on the gray. Try it with chart sometime. It's another of my go to's.

Great tip, I'll put it to use in a minute.

Skertbum, you mean green chart in the tail? I love the white/silver chenille I have but it was only a little card of it...would love to find more...may have to try your charteuse tail instead.
