My step son Danny is a fisherman mostly Bass but I have been showing him the jigs I have been making. In the last few weeks he has been trying his hand at jig tying and is coming along nicely. With a little help from Pops I think he will do good. I am going to set him up with a bunch of material and vice and bobbin. As you can see he has potential. Not bad these are like the third thur the seventh jigs that he tied. Now he is not blood but I think that he has natural ability.

The red one is his first thread body and the others are ones that I had him copy I am amazed he picked it up so fast.

Please comment This might encourage him even more. I know this will make him happy.

Out here...
I think they turned out very nice...What would be really cool is to see some pictures with some fish. And the other deal don't matter...

Very nice jigs! Good proportions. Only thing I might recommend is another half to full turn of chenille on the body, and some of your thread wraps would disappear. Excellent work for a first-timer. Those will catch fish!
