It has begun !!!

I got to thank everyone for the help , support , tutorials , suggestion , reccomendations . Got my stuff from Robert and and a special package from Gary , who I can't thank enough . I tied my first jig tonight .Chartreuse/Orng 1/8oz sickle hook with Baitfish Chenille ,Chart Marabou w/blk/chart flash . REALLY like my vise ! Don't know how to post pictures . The tools sure are small in reality , look bigger in the videos I been watching . They sure do make it look easy on video and in pictures . Learned a couple things real quick tonight , cealing fans and Marabou don't play well together , there is a hook point on the bottom of the jig that won't let you forget it's there ! My eyes sure ain't what they use to be . Lighting is important . Got the rotary whip down pretty good , practiced with just a hook and regular sewing thread . Had some trouble with the bobbin , seems really tight , did stretch the legs some but still seems tight . Broke the thread couple times , but that is part of the learning . Still got a long way to go and a lot to learn , but I'm glad I jumped in and thankful for all of the folks who are JigCraft . Thanks Quint

That one was 18 1/4" . Have gotten a several 20" - 22" out of the big lake , Red Rock . Getting harder and harder to find them , since the repetative flooding we keep getting every spring . November 2010 we were getting daily limits 17" -19" out of the river . Beautiful cold water Black Crappie .
