    The ones on the right are 1/16 and the left 1/32 waiting on my buddy to make me some olive 1/32 before I can make those 3. Whatta you guys think? Any tips?

    Very good tying job. Don't mean to be critical But. I think you could shorten the tails and you'll be happier. It is making them the way YOU want them instead of store bought. Keep up the good work.

    I thought the tails might be a little long myself. Appreciate the input

    There are times when they don’t want something big. Just use the tips of that hair and be sure to keep a smaller one along for when they get fussy. Kip or calves tail is another hair we use a lot of that works very well. Those jigs will do just fine, I know a couple of trees I’d like to throw some of them under. I like the colors and not too much flash. Good job.

    I plan to tie up some more 1/32 and some 1/48 with shorter tails. I have plenty of ideas so I’ll be showing off my jigs from time to time.
