Looks good. Sure they will work for you. Hope that foot heels up quickly for you.
Very nice.
Nice job, keep the healing coming and the jigs.
Thank you Dave. the Dr. did say a tendon was rubbing on one of the bones, but wasn't sure if it would back off of it after it relaxed. If it don't we probably talking surgery. Just have to pray and let the greatest healer do what he does. Thank you for the compliments on the jigs.
Thank you Slab and GrumpyLoomis I appreciate it.
Nice jigs you’ve tied, like the spikes of color. I only want to question and suggest on one of them. The wings on the one look good while it’s on the vise. However, once in the water it will rotate 180*. Ifn the wings were on the hook side it would orient proper when in the water. I like the look of the wings though I don’t know the material. Looks a lot like mayfly wings. Good stuff.
Those all look awesome, but if I had to pick a favorite that first one has my vote
Skeetbum, the wing material is actually plastic from a zip-lock bag that I freehand cut them. As far as them being in the wrong side, I read some where that a dead bug actually floats down upside down. Don't know myself and can't remember where I read it. But if the fish take it then that's a plus. As far as durability goes, I can only hope fo the best. I used what I had at the time...
But thank you for the compliments. Coming from a fellow tier I look upto, it means a lot. Thank you.
Thank you Jack. I'm kinda partial to it too...
I used the plastic out of the electronic anti static bags. Kind of a shiny translucent smoky looking material. The fish like itQuote:

Those are so pretty, I would put in a shadow box and display them.
Too nice to fish with.
Talent and patience combined pays off.

I might consider the shadow box, but momma being from South Louisiana, said I better figure out how I'm gonna get them wet 'cause she wants some fresh crappie real soon. ight now I'm glad for two things. ONE, it's my left knee and ankle that's went south on me, and two, both our vehicles are automatic...
Appreciate your service!!Quote:

Thank you, and your welcome...
That first tie looks particularly good! Should fish really well when you can get back out on the water. Send a couple to the VA!

Thank you Bob. Very Kind Words.
Sorry to hear of the medical issue, but nice ties and a good way to spend time in that boot!

Thank you Skip.
Thanks for the info about the wings. I’ve never read up on much of this tying thing at all but I’m a video watching fool, short at attention span maybe. But once again, good looking ties.
I too really like the first one although they are all awesome. I was fishing a couple weeks ago and was in a county impacted by a Cicada hatch. The dead ones I saw were floating upside down while all the live ones were “kicking” in the water belly down for what it’s worth. Good job Eric.
It did pretty well. I made a wing case out of it. . I think I have a photo. It is tough plasticAttachment 404531Quote:

Jack, don't be so hard on your self. That looks awesome. And Me, I'm an amateur. I pick bits up here and their, and try to remember what it was I did 5 minutes ago. I figure if I do it enough times, one of them aught to be right...lol
