One third of the way

Through 100 jigs
Attachment 482196

Pace yourself or you want have anything left. They look good

I have lots of material:biggrin

It's definitely addicting. Not sure what I like more painting with crinkle paint to achieve different patterns or tying. I reckon there is way worse things to be spending time and money on !

I envy you fellas that paint your jigs with powder paint. I use to use nail polish but labor intensive and not as nice as what you guys do. I've been tying a long time and enjoy trying new materials and styles.

Very nice……

I saw a video where a guy drips fingernail polish in water .he did several different colors to get rings to form then dipped his jig to achieve some pretty cool designs. I thought it was a pretty good idea .

Trying this copy from SDG YouTube channel. Comments? What do you think of tail length

I’ve done it and it depends on the polish and colors. Mine didn’t look as good but it was fun and probably something I’ll do again at some point

It will work. Personally I prefer short tails.

Thanks SD. I have a magnum Grizzly cape and even measuring against the hook I struggle getting the tail shorter. Will have to use a ruler!

I usually do length of hook or shorter, well try to anyway. I think if they aren’t biting good they are more likely to short strike with longer tails.

Just tied one up using muskrat fur from muskrat that my grandson trapped and my daughter tanned.
