A couple swim jigs tied up

Very nice, I use the poison tail for swim jigs too but only in the 3/8oz size, I find that the regular casting jig from Do-it works better for swimming in the 1/4oz and 3/16oz size. Is that silver vein paint on the first one? I use that and gold from time to time but on that jig it looks awesome, I'm going to try that with a similar skirt pattern, awesome!!

That paint is from Skirts unlimited it is their black/silver foundation used for their Illusion series paint. If you ever use it make sure it's a light coat (I get the head just hot enough to cover the lead and it looks dry instead of glossing over) that powder is a little thicker than most and it has a tendency to run down the head and form a bulb. With a "dry" coat it turns out just like the head in the pic once baked. Thanks for the input. Also I wasn't crazy about using the 1/4 oz head on a swim jig but it balanced and swims well with that Reaction Innovations little dipper. I just hope the fish will eat it this fall.
