Well was a nice day to tie. As I have mentioned what I am tying will not be for sale until I return to the States the end of April so please don't ask so my post wont get booted. Am hoping to get feedback so I know what direction to go. If you guys don't like them I don't want to tie them so please be honest.
These are Kip tail with just a bit of flash.
Thanks , Ken

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing
Nice work !!
They look awesome
Nothing there not to like. Great work. Congrats!
Very nice!!
They look really nice, crappie will eat them for sure.
Thanks. Found some really long Kip tail so the tails on these are longer than most. Think the hook is a #2 oor maybe a #1 ...pretty big jig.
Well I did 115 1/8 jigs....now on to 1/16... did 25 so far. They hopefully look the same as the 1/8. Plan on doing 100 of these. Think the hair is a good length?

Those are some very nice jigs. Really excellent ties
Those jigs will find their way into a hungry fish pretty soon. Some crystal flash in your jigs would help attract the fish a little more, also douse them with some "Slab sauce" or a crappie nibble when you fish them. Personally I like my tail on a jig to be about 2/3 the length of the hook shank right before the hook bend. That way the fish gets some metal in their mouth when they short strike the jig. Yours are just about right in my own opinion. You are doing a great job my friend.

Thanks. I am using some very thin flash in them. It's like micro flash. Looks real natural in the light but hard to see in the pictures. Really appreciate your comments. Slab sauce always makes them better,
They look good to me. Should work really good.
Finished 100 of the 1/16 jigs now on to the 1/32. Done about 50 of these so far. Trying to be consistent. Will be listing in the spring but are not for sale at this time. Kip tail are a bit expensive. Do you think I can get $1.50 each. You all have more experience than I do so just asking for opinions not offers.

Long hair can be trimmed if the user decides its too long. Too short is well, too short...
Those look nice!
