Next Jig!

Ok Guys I have pretty much got the hang of tying Marabou so what is the next type of material i need to start learning? I have got pretty good at learning how to use the flash! I think this Hobby has got addictive b/c since I have started tying a few months ago I have already powder painted about 700 Jig heads just placed a order for 1000 more and probally tied around 400 jigs!

One last ? how do you do the splatter paint effect on the heads of Jigs?
I have finally perfected the tying tool! lol

To make the splatter effect just use a small artist paint brush dip it in the powder of your choice and tap the powder onto the head then reheat the jig head to get the look you want.

len I am mad at you. After looking at that picture I have to go out to the table and start tying up some of those. They look too good. I couldn't resist fantastic job. I like the color combination that turquoise with black I think it's that color or is it a light blue with black the head.

you can use a salt shakers for 2 tone paint job , dip jighead in primary color have secondary color in shaker take out of primary color and shake on second color while its still hot works great.
