Great job az, I love the colors also!
glad to see you finally bought some stuff tightwad lol...i gotta alot also so if you wana trial run some colors let me know
I'm not a "tight wad" lol.Just did'nt know how to tie a feather.One day of asking questions here solved that though.The only thing I have left to do is learn how to whip finish,Ha.And keep buying stuff to force me to use it.
youll catch on...it will just fall in to place
If you can have someone show you that's the best way. It's so easy once you figure it out. I struggled for years trying to figure it out and one day I just did it, and poof, been doing it ever since. Can't imagine using half hitches anymore.Quote:

Yea,I'm the half hitch champion now,lol.It all started out with me buying the wrong tool,then that just irked me something terrible,lol.
Good looking jigs. Nice colors on all of em. I got a lot of feathers but I use hair on most of the jigs I tie. Good work with the jigs.
half hitch is what i use....myself i like it. then put a dot of glue and its held in place for the duration of the jigs life...
I use a Matarelli whip finisher and don't know how to half hitch. Never tried either. Jigs look good, good balance and size. Now that you've been playing with the big stuff, pull out 1/64 and do some of those. I think my bald spot is bigger cuz of the changes like that.
You read my mind Skeet,they are curing in the toaster oven right now,lol.
Good Looking Jig You Will Do Good With That Color
Looking good for your first feather jigs.

Here are the 1/64 oz. guys Skeet,lol.They are pretty small compared to the 3/4 oz. guys.
Nice jigs and Skeet has the right one (Matarelli-style) and the other kind Thompson is pretty much for flies and harder to use.

Here's all of them with the colors that I have.I'm done until I get some new ones,lol.
