Really nice tie!!! The only thing I'd do different is the thread, anything with bucktail that uses a #1 or larger hook I use at least 140 denier and most of the time I use 210 which would be like a 3/0. I use the heavy thread as most of my jigs are going to be in a river bottom banging rocks and hopefully getting smashed but smallmouth bass.

That glitter over yellow and flash placement is cool, as the other fellas have said.

Thanks guys. Seems like since I joined I got some new inspiration for tying agian. Yea smalljaw I need to get out and get some thicker thread just haven't got out yet. I think I got used to using 8/0 because I like the way it looked. Plus I put a hard varnish over it like they use on salmon flies so that helps. But I do need to pick up some 3/0 if I plan on making up lots of buck tail. Glad that the glitter is liked I just got it and this was the first batch
