Here are some jigs that I tie up every year.
I usually tie up about 4-5 dozen per year.
For some reason they keep disappearing, and all of my fish'n buddies don't seem to know why.

Thanks for the compliments.
The jigs on the left hand side are 1/16 oz. tail is marabou and crystal flash, body is cactus chenille. The jigs on the right, the tail is pheasant marabou with pearl crystal flash, I also tie in pheasant marabou about midway up the hook shank. I tie it in by the tip and then fold it in half and wrap a collar. The body is a blend of rabbit, red squirrel, and lite brite dubbing.
As an added note, all of my jig heads I paint with a mixture of Devcon 2 part epoxy which I color with Testors enamel paint.
It cannot be painted on with a brush. I use a toothpick to apply it.
THIS MIXTURE OF EPOXY AND ENAMEL DOES TO CHIP OFF.
As an added note, my fish'n buddies are really not thieves.
Great group of guys that would do anything for anybody.
I like to tie a few extra every year, so my buddies with boats will take me fishing.:D
Gosh those are nice. The craftsmanship is excellent. You got that chenelle down perfectly. Also good use of flash in the tails. Good looking jigs for sure.
Just curious, in what color water do you fish those brown ones?
The brown ones I fish in all water. Sunny, Cloudly, windy, muddy.... They have always been productive.
Here is a fly that I tie that I fashioned the jig from.
This fly works equally well if you are into fly fishing.

You do not need much paint to tint the epoxy.
