Nice, I like kiptails and would like to dye them myself but have not found a source that is reasonable. Kinda like feathers I get disappointed in the variations for colors we get from suppliers. The colors on yours look great. I really like kiptail for small jigs. Good ties thanks for sharing!

They should do well for you! They are much like the Popeye jig and I know they work great!

Look great. Those jig heads look perfect. Almost hate to be banging them against rocks and such.

You always do a great job on those thread bodies. Easy to get sloppy on those, at least for me.

It is UV cured clear resin directly over the thread.

Using a rotary vise makes it pretty easy to get a smooth uniform coating.

Good looking work there Jeff. They’ll catch fish without a doubt. I just poured and painted some small #6 and #8’s yesterday, I too haven’t tied in a while and my box is looking bare. I’ll post a few when I do.

Nice ties

Fridays86 I use Fly Dye from Lure Parts online, and there are a few colors of Hawian Punch that I like too!!

I haven’t found extra litewire hooks smaller than #4 or I would make them with smaller hooks.
