Skip, those look amazing. What is the blue chenille on the top? That is the blue I'm looking for but don't think I have. Wow!
That is the Copenhagen Blue that I have used for many years here. I tie this jig so much, but also the Chartreuse/Blue/Chartreuse too!Quote:

Wow!! Those are beautiful skip. Way to fight through the shoulder pain and get 'er done. I can easily relate to shoulder pain as the orthopedic doctors tell me that both of my rotator cuffs are shot... so boy do I know what you mean when you talk shoulder pain. I never dreamed that I would be so hindered or slowed by this problem. Very nicely done.
Very nice as always!

Thank you! Yes my right shoulder the Rotator cuff has been shot for a long time, was a pitcher in LL way back when there were no rules about how many innings one could pitch, lol1 Then much later I was coaching and some managing Sr. League when my boys were playing and I did a lot of pitching at practice and didn't warm up proper a few times and that started the path down that road. I have not been able to throw overhand for many year now and have to throw underhand, lol!Quote:

Mine started exactly the same way, skip, as I too was a pitcher throughout little league, high school and some college; was a quarterback who loved to throw the ball throughout all of my school years playing football; also played softball until the age of 45 years old; and (like you) did several years of coaching also throwing unknown numbers of hours of batting practice. Just like you said, I remember all too well pitching every inning of several games back to back, but I was also guilty of throwing way too much junk... curve balls, sliders, knuckle balls... starting at too young of age, also without proper warm up, which I'm sure started everything off on the wrong foot. I wouldn't change a thing though... even if I could do it all over again.Quote:

Jigs look great! If you don’t mind me asking what is your hackle technique? Small v’s and a tip or all tips? Been trying to get mine looking straight and pointed but no luck

Once I wrap the thread to the point I will stop and start back to the head, I stop and look at the tail and if it's not on top like I want, I try to adjust it like I want. Now if I can't get it right I will start over with the tail, but if I get it set right at that point I will hold my index finger very hard against the thread before I start to wrap back to the head because I do not want it o roll any more and once I get a few very tight wraps it it should be in place and tight so just finish wrapping to the head and then finish the jig.

I know how you feel! Had mine fixed a few years ago. Painful. Anyways, HOW MUCH YOU WANT FOR 'EM!!! I am liking those jigs. I just got my vice and tools, along with some hackle and Chennile, glue and what not. Gonna try my hand at it too.
