Well, I tied these jigs with a patch over my eye while laid up after eye surgery. They not perfect, but ain't either. Glad to have both eyes up and running again.

Look pretty good to me. :ThumbsUp
OK question I’ve seen several tied jigs with what looks like huge jig heads. Are they different material (tungsten, etc) or are they like 1/2 oz??
I love the tight neck style. I did a few the other day, Long and slender neck!:cheers2
They are just 1/4 oz lead with 1 or 1/0 hooks. I got them from grousefly several years back. I just paint em put the clothes on em.
#me too.Quote:

They look really great, I,ve tried tying my own but they did,nt turn out that well. Maybe someday I,ll get the hang of it.
I am a beginner. I watched a lot of U Tube "how to's" . Members on c com have good stuff on tying....Quote:

I have always pushed guys to use FAOL lessons and while it's flies they still tie with the same materials as we do plus a lot more. Still the way they do things is right and maybe if you try looking at their step by step lessons you can pick up some help? Give it a try, just click on Fly Tying, then Beginning tying, maybe skip a couple of the tool lessons if you know them, but then just look for lessons that use materials you want to use.Quote:

Those jigs are really nice. I’m glad you stuck with it. Hadn’t seen you post any recently and thought you may have quit.... but I “see” you’ve got more important things going on.
I know you boys catch fish regularly and glad you got your motor issue figgered out.
Toodaloo.
Play with em when you can to make em how YOU think looks good.Quote:

That could be all bad info though.
