Lost Pole said I should sign up, so I guess I did. I don't think I have that much to offer but welcome any knowledge anyone is willing to share. Here's some I tied up tonight.

Haha - yours look better than some of my own. That chartruese/olive combination looks amazing! Heck, would fish the chart/white combo up here also. Welcome to the site and don't believe everything that Adam says........... ;)

Listening to Adam will get you in trouble.... I guess you are the "friend" he recently showed some jig pics from ?

From what Ive seen so far your color combo's are awesome and ties may be better than his bolt.gif:p


Is Helianthus from Sunflower ????

Great ties. Is that marabou or rabbit or fox or something on the olives? It looks nice.

Great jigs.......not only the way they are tied but also great heads. I know that this is not your first rodeo. How long have you been tying?

Those are awesome!! What is the black material with the olive? If it too is marabou then what did you do to get it that whispy and what brand or where did you get it because that looks absolutely fantastic!!! BTW, Welcome to the board!!!!

Thanks for all the kind words. I suppose I'll make the claim, I am Adam's friend. My wording isn't the best so y'all will have to deal with my descriptions instead of the proper terms for things. Helianthus is a group of flowers majority yellow, including a sunflower. The tails are marabou and were given to me so I don't have the name or brand. All I did was strip it off the feather and each jig has at least two feathers. I've been tying for less than a year and just recently started pouring my own.

You are wrong about one thing those aren't nothing because they are really something. I really like that one that reminds me of lemonade. I can see Mr Crappie jumping on that one with both fins.

Wow, such stunning jigs! Can we call you Sunflower :) ? Colours, proportions and tying are so sweet! They would kill it down here. Do you have an art/craft background? cause there's a talent there which is super impressive!
