First ties!

Ok, hoping to get a little feedback - here are my first three ties. I already have more materials in the mail - this is going to be more addictive than rodbuilding!!! :D
1/16 oz, #4 hook Black/Black Pearl/Black Hackle and some flashy stuff...
Attachment 63655
1/64 oz, #8 hook, custom powder paint, leech yarn, bucktail...
Attachment 63656
1/32 oz, #6 hook, SS Chartreuse/silicone legs and some flashy stuff...
Attachment 63657

Any comments? Feel free to offer constructive criticism - thanks! :)

Oh - my daughter (Rachel) is INSISTING that I mention that she took the pics, and the next pics to be posted will be her first jig tied :cool:

Nice ties. Only recommend that you use kip tail over buck tail on those small jigs. it is a lot easier to deal with.

Thanks for the advice PA - I don't have any kiptail (yet) - but it's on my list! That jig is going to be a giller killer :-)
