Pics from my first batch of jigs. Tied em with a buddy that showed me the way.
Not the best but not bad for the first batch. All of em will probably catch fish. Attachment 102527

those look great for you first of 50th time. Im just getting into tying myself so maybe soon ill have some to post as well.
Not bad for a first time, really. Just keep learning and trying and they will get better. I do like a lot of the color choices.
Personally on Roadrunners I like marabou or sometimes Rabbit and Arctic Fox can be really nice as well. Don't use any stems in marabou unless it so thin it makes no difference. I probably only use a stem in marabou less than 5% of the time.

Nice looking jigs.
Nice ties!!! but I will say one thing based on your photo - the crane swivels on those look like they're stuck to the jig itself with powder paint, and the bottom eyelet looks like it's stuck to the crane swivel. You need to make sure both ends of the crane swivel are clean and spinning or you lose half the action on this style jig.
Yea. That's the way they came from the factory.
Take a razor blade and clean the wires that come out of the swivel, and make sure nothing is clogging the hole. If you do it real careful you may not chip any paint
Ok thanks for the advice. Very open to ideas to make em better. I know I just need to tie a few hundred
Good job.
You are off to a great start. That is a good friend to work with you on your tying. Welcome to the madness :)
Lol thanks stump. Watched a couple of your videos on the YouTube. Hope to b there one day. Lol
Nice jigs, much more detail than my first. Keep that picture to look at in a few years. Keep it up.
