Great start. The best advice I could pass on is what I got here: work on consistency. Tail length and the transition from tail to body are two areas where consistency real shows up.
Looks good. You’re on your way.
To be totally honest, there is nothing wrong with those ties. You even got the tail length right which is what most newbies struggle with. Those jigs will catch any crappie in any state.
Thanks but anything done right on those is totally due to the knowledge I received right here on this forum.Quote:

If that is your first tie, you are way ahead of where I began my tying journey. Welcome to the addiction. Can’t wait for the fish to tell you that you did well.
It is. Wish the weather would have allowed me to try them out. I hope to be on the water tomorrow. Pictures to follow if the fish cooperate.Quote:

Sweet !
good job!
Very nice work. Better then my first ones.
The one thing to remember, when working with Marabou, is when wet and you reel it or pull it forward, that bushy tail will lay together much like a Bobby Garlands Baby shads, but when the jig stops it's forward movement it flairs back out again...Nice looking ties.
The fish will like those
I like your work! :ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp
Great job.
No advice
Very nice ties, nothing wrong there. The members here are helpful and certainly encouraging. The more you do the better you get and then the more materials you'll want to try. Biggest thrill is catching fish on a jig you made from scratch.
Looks good to me!
I’d fish those right now.
Always room for improvement, if your a perfectionist.
Nice job
