Jim,you are a true artist !!!!!

 

[Hawnjigs]

Yup, synergy artist ! Materials and colors all seem to complement each other.

 

[Fatman]

Sweet ties!!!!!!! Love the low of colors, looks very natural.

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

I think we are all artists. I've gotten many great ideas from the people here and just go from there. Still trying for a perfect jig but will never make it,new ideas keep the fire burning.I have a closet full of jigs already but will never get tired of making them.

 

[Radtexan]

Check ur pm JJ

Man JJ1, I agree with everyone else, those are works of art!!! I love how the colors all work together and the palmer chenille adds another dimension, nothing short of amazing!!! Great job!!

I painted these heads months ago and they sat until it came to me how to tie these and what materials to use. Then I put the thread to them. This mold was originally designed for spinners and I can pour them with a #12 crane swivel.One of my answers to the roadrunner. Or like in these just pour without the crane and trim a small sprue where the swivel would go off with a knife. The other side of this mold has the 1/16 chub that I can do the same thing. It's like having four molds for the price of one. It's one of 8 OR 9 molds that Robert did for me.

I really wish Robert would go back to doing mold work - of course he'd be swamped.

Great-looking jigs. The color combinations are really attractive.

JJ I saw you mention in the other thread your pics are too big with your Iphone..600x800 or there abouts is just about right for forum use...If your interested the only thing they might need is some cropping..

irfanview.com is an easy and free photo tool..just a couple of clicks makes a big difference..

Thanks Rad.It wasn't the iPHONE but the two waterproof cameras I bought that I have problems with. I'll try that link you posted,pics do look better and aren't as big.Hopefully work with the waterproof camera pics too.They take great underwater pics and are waterproof to depths of 30 feet.

Nice work Jim!

I've got Photo Bucket and I've set the uploader to automatically change photo's to 640x480 which is great for the forum.

Jungle, you hit a home run with those jigs! what is this palmer chenille? does crazy sell it?

 

[AtticaFish]

Those are phenomenal! The blue/chart ones really pop - all are excellent but those B/C's are gonna have me painting and tying.

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

I get the palmer chenille from crazy. Stuff is easy to work with. This is the small size. The larger medium size he special orders for me. That makes great tails. Thanks for your comments everyone.

 

[Fatman]

Thanks for the info on the palmer chenille
