Still trying to get the hang of it. Only gonna do it for myself, not to sell. The one on the right has already produced. After finishing it I went out to the back pond and caught three nice crappie before getting hung up and losing the jig.

Nothing wrong with them Jim. You might want to end your chenille/body a little closer to the jig head. Will make a smaller body and will save you on chenille. If you want a little fatter body you can overwrap the body. But hey....if it's working.......
Good looking b8s - gotta be happy when they work....
I second what SM said about the chenille stopping at or about the hook point and the barb as I try to not go past that area towards the hook bend.
Like the colors and yes they will catch crappie!
Good job,
Skip

Yea, I thought I was leaving the marabou/chenille long. I will shorten it on the next ones.
Thanks for all the positive comments.
Good thing ya took a pict of one of the winners. I've made up half a dozen experiments before, taken them out for a test drive and lost the best producing one. Ya never can tell if ya got the same thing without a pict. Jigs look very nice! :cool:
Looks good and is always better catching one on one you made..good job let the addiction begin:D
Nice work I'll go with SM and Skip force that chennel to the head that thread will back it off I like the short fat head bodies another swap candidate We get enough swappers Skip it make a 2 month window for ya.
Same as Skip and SM. Chenille body is just a tad too long. I also prefer the "Natural" versus "Cut off" look on the tails.
