Ive only got a couple weeks behind the vice. Its a super fun hobby. These are 4 jigs that i made. Rough looking for sure but id fish these guys. A fresh eye and some constructive critisim is always welcome. My personal favorite is the egg cluster marabou thingy.

For just getting started with tying, those look pretty well tied and from what i can see, you are using the right hooks for the job - sharp & heavy! The more you practice, the cleaner they will all look....... but honestly, the fish do not care how neatly they are tied. ;)

I like the egg sac jig also. How did you attach the 'eggs' to it?

Thanks. Ive got lots of time, but a limited supply of materials so i made them count and slowly wrapped trying the different techniques .Watching lots of youtube, and reading tutorials helped out as well. For the eggs i used Exude chewy egg sacs. The pull apart and i threaded them on to the string with my bobbin threader :D. BUT there is a trick to them. I wasted like 2 cluster trying to figure out how to not rip them. Ill try and post how-to pics later.
