First time tying.

Well I got home and went through all the stuff I ordered and decided to try tying. I watched a few YouTube videos and this was the result of my first few jigs. No where near professional but I think they may get a few thumps hopefully. Obviously I did not think about cleaning out the eyes before I baked them so next time I will do that. This was literally first time painting and setting up the vise and getting after it.

Forgot to mention my whip finisher will not be in until Monday so manually tying the whip took a few tries to get it right lol

Very nice. Wish my first ones looked that good. They have 12 step programs when it gets real bad. LOL
I use this right out of the paint. Run it down the wire and then bake.

Looks like you doing fine! Nice job!

Great first time ties!

Nice ties for your first ones - don't worry the more you tie the better they'll get, we've all been there!

Very nice work for a first effort. Mine were nowhere near that good. Welcome to the addiction.

Excellent! Popping out the eyes before you bake will save you a bit of frustration!

You've got it figured out! Your "first ones" are way better than anything you can buy in a store or that I've ever fished on my line. Really great jigs, don't change that style.

Turned out better than mine. Those look great!

Awesome! Great looking stuff.

Those are good no matter how long you've been tying. I see people selling jigs that don't look this good.

Thanks guys. I have a long way to go. I must admit it's pretty addicting. My 2 year old son woke up the other morning at 0500 and I changed his diaper and put him in the bed with momma. I then proceeded to paint heads and tie lol.

Looking very good, Duckcomando.

Looks great. I am beginning to put my list together of what I need to start so hopefully in a month I'll be able to post pics of my first ones.

Mine will never look this good.

Done quite a bit of tying the last few days and these are some of my best. The rooster feathers are by far my favorite over hair. Doesn't matter if it's hackle or saddle I think the feathers are the way to go, but then again the fish will decide lol!

Looks good duckcommando! I just ordered some stuff today to start tying my own. Tired of watching Jlaughlin whipping my butt with his hand tied jigs! lol Thanks for sharing.
