Nice looking jigs. For a first time tying Deer hair they look really good.

Keep up the good work.

Good job, jigtwins!
Deer hair can be a little tricky, but looks like you've mastered the flair!
Keep up the good work!!

Thanks folks. it took a couple of tries to get the stuff to lay down. I didn't know that it would flair out so much when i cinched the thread down on it. Pretty happy with the outcome though.

Yeah the body hairs are hollow which causes it to flair like that, which also enables us to spin and trim it for bass bugs

I have a time getting the deer hair to do anything BUT flare, but I did some thing a bit different on a few and it changed the profile some. Start them same as usual but start right behing the head and draw em tight, tie a half hitch, and begin to work your way back slow and not as tight. This gathers them a bit tighter and narrows the profile. Work your way back forward and and finish close to the head and coat with sally hansen. I use a heavy thread to tie these.
