Thread: new to jigs tying

I don't ever tie any smaller than a #8 hook except for flies amd then yes some #10 and #12. Have some hooks smaller, but not excessively so since I never tie an #18 or smaller as I have no need here.
Now if I find the big gills this month I will go for them, but only got on them one time here and the smalles we caught was 3/4 pound and largest was 1 3/4 pounds, we had 42. We had been bass fishing and it was slow and then ran into these with Texas riged worms, went to get some crickets and we had a ball! And yes since I got this side scan I have been looking for some beds in water 11' or deeper.

Couldn't sleep good last night so got up and tie a few at 2-3 in morning. Here's one I did.

That one will do well for you. I tie a lot using chenille much like that. I have 3 different ones all very close, but different.

That should work great! I have the same chenille. Bobo gave it to me when I was first starting tying a couple months ago.

This one is my favorite. Uses green grizz marabou and a pink 1/32 head. It looks nicer in person, the pink works great with the green in the water. (my fist is in the picture to show a size comparison for a buddy of mine who I was tying them for).

keep practicing you are doing a good job.
