Still getting too much feather on the bigger heads but that just means I get to practice more:D

Anyone make that combo on the end(gold heads)? If so, hows it working on the crappie? It was my attempt at a Arkansas shiner pattern.

Tail length looks OK to me. I prefer my tails a little longer than some, just my preference. the width of the tail is fine. Jigs are lookin good! Keep up the good work.
Glad you mentioned that. Was wondering what to do about a 2nd pattern in the smallie jig swap. Now I know;)Quote:

nice
Nice jigs, what size are those??
Don't know why you think that you are getting too much feathers on them, I don't really think so, but some will surely disagree with me, but that is just fishing and everyone has their own opinions.
I think they look fine as is!

Specifically, the white headed jigs are 1/8 I believe and I seem to not be able to get the tail length where I want it on those. I think they are about an 1/8" too long for those jigs. The rest I am happy with for the most part. I feel like I am making progress though considering that only makes about 30 or so total so far. I googled "Newb to Pro in ten jigs", first time I have ever heard my computer laugh.
lol your never a pro
Most of those were 1/32 or 1/48. Gold heads are 1/16.
1/32 is my fav size for trout and crappie
That's why I joined the site, the mentoring and encouragement:pQuote:
