look good should catch some fish. I notice only one thing from the looks of it your hair is shifting in your fingers. If you look at your chrt on from the right and the orange one it looks as if maybe you might be tying two different lengths or your hair is shifting in your fingers or pliers.

I noticed it only after Kenall pointed that out. Will that affect the fishablity of the lure kendall? Or just the looks of it to fisherman. LOL

Colors look they outta catch some fish though, Good job 78.

prolly mostly the appeal of the fishermen if it is something he is trying to sell. If its for personal use i dont see it causing him any problems.

If I had to pick one, it would be #1 on the second row. Its has a nice body and a sparse tail that is of the correct length and nicely tied. It doesn't look like you trimmed it. Most of the others are a little to fluffy for me. As for the color, what works where you fish is what you need to tie. Just keep on tying and fishing, let the fish tell you what they want. Most of all have fun, both tying and fishing. They look good.

It appears as if you are cutting the hair tail at an angle. IMHO, I would not do that. It pulsates and looks better in the water with the more natural uncut look. As Kendall said, it looks as if you are shifting the hair around unevenly too.

I just corrected it. You are right. I meant to type hair. I was doing too many things at once.
