Yes, the material selection, volume, length, and trim look perfect. What is the material used for the top jigs, and how do you achieve the uneven end lengths?

Nice looking jigs. Need a bit more patience for the eyes but they will work. Those top two are really neat, but I gotta wonder how they would look with lifeflys new blue eyes.

That is SF blend..... I just got my first couple colors for Christmas. If you don't have any, you need some. It is very versatile and FISHY lookin!
The uneven taper is just my trimming. All I did on this jig was center tied in two bunches of SF fibers (top and bottom), then swept the forward stuff back so that it was evenly dispersed around the hook, took my thread so t would all lay back in a nice collar and was done. Very very simple.

About the eyes.... Yeah I know. All these are is nail polish and a sharpie. They'll fish ;)

Mean ties too. Big fan of top'ns. Looks like a silverfish blue chrome paint. Gotta recipe for that.
As for the eyes, they look great as is.
