They look good to me.
Color selection looks great. My only concern would be the tail length. Might cause short strikes and missed fish. Other than that, those look awesome. Great job.
I greatly appreciate it! I just measure it by eye. I have a Griffins Spider Vise, and it had a tension knob for the arm. I bring my scissors the front of it and end it there, I tried Marabou but ended up doing limited batches because I never really had the money to buy it. But now I’m getting into business and selling them on OGF and MS I’ve been able to afford themQuote:

Look good
Nice looking jigs. You've come a long way in a short time. The tail length may be a bit long but I wouldn't change it. Your buyers can trim it how they like it later.
Appreciate it Spartan! Are you the guy from MS?Quote:

Love the Grey/Chartreuse name! :Rofl
Been tying for a while and of all the things I learned the biggest thing is tie them the way they catch fish for you. I remember as a kid our jigs was just a splitshot crimped on a straight hook and apiece of red rind off bologna for a skirt. I like the tail shorter but have tied for folks that like them long. Hey... save a few of your jigs so you can look at them later on down the road, they will tell there own story by then. Tie on my friend:twocents
Yeah, that's me. Good to see you here, great site.Quote:

Later I bought a couple of vises and a box of assorted materials and tools at a garage sale and played around with it some. Now I mainly tie 3/4 and 1 ounce jigs for jigging walleye on the Detroit River in the spring.Quote:
