I have tried using a second color over a base color with no luck. It may be my heat source I'm using to heat my heads since I'm using an open propane flame. Does a heat gun work better than an open flame. I may be over heating the heads for the two colors to work. I have painted the base color...

Didn't kill em today but did catch 7 crappie with the biggest at 14'' and had a time with an 30'' cat. While landing one of the crappie I had one of my 12' rods bend over so I thought it was hung up on some brush so I clicked it to free spool. After I landed the crappie and got back to the rod...

I used an 11''x14'' stretched canvas I got at Hobby Lobby. It worked good with it being on a frame and it gave a place for the hook points to go.

Remember that I'm still learning :blush: Here are a few jigs put together using different materials. The pony's are a pain and I need to take a turn or two off the chenille. I sure am enjoying tying and working with all the different color combinations!:)

What is the ''rule of thumb'' y'all use for the amount of material you leave past the hook for the tail on a jig. What are your thoughts on this?

Got some jigs tied for my fishing trip this morning before the rain moves in. Caught my first crappie with my jig!!! If that isn't the biggest thrill I ever had fishing. I enjoyed coming up with the jig but when a fish takes it :) Thought I would share the story with y'all and a pic of the jig...
