Critique/advice for new tier?

Was really great to catch them on jigs I tied. That top picture was the first fish I've caught on a jig I've tied. Started tying in July and fish here have been biting on minnows ever since so I haven't fished the jigs much. So far I haven't sold any and before yesterday I hadn't caught any on them so tying didn't make a whole lot of sense, except that I like to do it. Now that I'm catching them on my jigs, there is a lot more incentive to tie them. Thought about tying some squirrel tails and putting them on the classifieds to see what happens.

Will definitely try some kip tail and will try adding some base hackle stacked on my tips for more action. Both the hackle and squirrel looked great in the water.

Don't leave marabou out of the equation either. I use that a lot in the sparing my self. I long line troll them then.

They look good, and you know they catch fish. Plus it's a great feeling catching them on something you made yourself.

That's the right stuff, good job.
