Well here are my first Jigs

Ok guys. Here's my first set of jigs. Please don't be too brutal:D. I used a "flytying video" thus the wooly booger/wooly worm style on most of these. I tried using marabou for some too which took awhile getting lined up. I read somewhere on here that you shouldn't trim the ends and I didn't. I think the last one (#10--middle pic bottom right) came out pretty good. What do you guys think? Either way, I'm hooked now and am looking forward to improving. Please tell me how I can get better at this.

Those look real good. Some of us were too embarrased to post our first tie. Jigs and flies are all a part of the same family. They all are bait imitations. Keep at it and prepare to take out a second mortgage on your home as it is a costly addiction. :eek:

Good start!!

Ol Jonny Boy. Great start. I don't see a single jig there that won't catch fish. When the bite is all but shut down, I always go to natural colors. ole Mike

Well, you are definitely hooked now and those jigs will definitely hook some Crappie for you, especially #2 and #7. Nice job. Give them some fancy names and then go out and teach the crappie a lesson.

I really like 4 7 8 9. Maybe I'll be able to tie this well some day. They really do look good and not like somebody's first jigs. Get um wet and let us know which ones we need to be tying lol hope they work well for you
