After reading about tying your own jigs on here, I decided to give it a try. Here is a pic of the first three that I tied. The one on the right is the first jig tied the middle is the second jig tied and the one on the left is the third jig tied. With more tying I hoe to get better at this:biggrin
Should catch plenty.

Good start to your tying. Thread around the eye, watch out for that. Welcome to the tying craft.
Yea, the first two I messed up on the whip finish but on the ones I tied after that I have been more careful on the whip finish.Quote:

Yes, I used collared heads on these jigs. I have a few non-collared heads that I am going to use next time I tie some jigs.Quote:

You can use wire cutters and take off the collar. That's what I did until my poured jigs arrived.
