Clean your eyes boy,lol.I just think it is easier to do before they are cured.Jigs look very good.
hey kid those are some nice looking jigs very nice and clean.....kepp it up buddy
Very nice for your 1st!! I agree about the eyes though.....
Looks like something you can catch fish on to me!
Not sure what them bottom things are with spinner blades though.

I also think the snap is extra hardware that is not needed. Tie to the hook eye or a tiny "o" ring.
nice looking jigs should catch a lot of fish.
Your tying looks good.
the second pic is love
You have some nice colors in there and they look like they'll catch fish BUT....you gotta do something with those hook eyes full of paint.:rolleyes:;):)
Wow! Those jigs make me hungry. Try using a small nail to clean the eye before curing, works for me. I use a heat gun and right after I dip the jig in the powder paint I use the nail.
Then use the heat gun once again to cure. I'm a newbie and would like to here some other methods used by you vets.
Thanks for all the comments! I didn't realize the eyes would be such a hot-button issue! LOL I generally clean them out right before they get tied on my line, and didn't even think twice about it.
Ship,
I was replicating a jig my grandpa SWEARS by. I just need to tie a bit of marabou on and they'll be exactly like the ones he showed me. The plan is to make some micro-size spoons and "pin mins" similar to what you make... just haven't gotten quite that far yet! I can't wait for hard water season to get here so I can really focus on vertical jigging them.

Good looking baits! Keep on tying. Let us know how you do with them.
