I did it,I did it,lol.With lots of help from fish 4 all I finally did one the correct way.What do you think about this baby?1/8 oz. with a size 2 sickle and some of cadman's silver / bronze powder paint.That is some Fl. Yellow marabou that Skip got me.I love it.It's another Crappie.com ordeal,lol.
Looks good!

Looks like palmered marabou to me. Not bad at all. Next step, dual colors. Have you started keeping a photo record of all the techniques you have been learning? Sooner than later you will start to forget how you did that one jig some 6 months ago.
Looking good az, I love everything about that one.
I have a photogenic mind like Spencer on Criminal Minds,lol.
AZ,
That is looks great!! What kind of thread did you use? Also when you tied it off, did you coat the thread or just tie off and dab it w/ head cement?

I was doing everything in Danville 140 black today.I got in a habit while doing saltwater jigs to coat the thread with Tough as Nails.lol
Last time I used Danville 140 it broke on my alot, I normally use Danville 210. But may tried it again. You make some great lookin stuff!
Did this one with some turquoise marabou
I am a big fan of Danville and use their 210 all the time and some others, but I like 140 Ultra Thread a lot better as far as breaking. I can usually do well with it and I do have my issues with smaller stuff. I am about to learn better though and that I am sure of. I just go a bunch of silk to tie with. 200 meter rolls. Was recommended by someone so am giving it a try.Quote:

It took a lot of practice ACSooner,lol.And you have to be a listenner as well.
Had to take a pic so I could see what it looked like in the water.Lots and lots of action.Pretty big bait,lol.That's what the fish sees.
Palmering is not new to me, but I've never tried it with marabou. Was there an earlier thread here that I missed giving instructions on how to do it?
I did'nt see another thread here.Saw some palmered jigs and flies and went to work learning on the NET.
looks awsome keep on making them and you will eventually perfect it
