Golfer, Looks good to me. I agree with the others about more hair and some accenting flash a boo. The vise will help a lot too. You will really like it. It will help you work the hair, making tighter ties, causing the hair to flare out better.the more you tie the more you will develop your own likes and dislikes. For example, some of the jigs I make have longer hair than others I like the hair to work with the trailer I plan to use once you start fishing them you will get a good feel for this. I really like using the zoom skinny chunks and tiny chunks, and let's not forget the finesse worm and the 4 inch ring worm nor the good old grub. Their is no real right or wrong when tying your jigs. Tie what works for you. Be happy. Tight lines and God Bless, Box Car out here.

Check out the Do It Asprin head or the chub head as those molds give a variety of sizes and recommended hook sizes. BTW, I really like the 32746 mustad hooks, they are great! Also, there is set weight or hook sizes, so experiment with what works best for you. The casting is the real trick. Good luck and God bless, Box Car

Sorry for the double post, sometimes my thinking is a bit slow, but...........just an additional thought or two. The best way to find some of the old flat frog hair(IMPO) would be to check out small mom and pop shops in your area and keep an eye out on the web. Another thought is to check out local archery shopsI, i think the flat rubber has been used on hunting bows. I hate to say this, but if you find it buy all you can, I have looked for hours on the web for it to no avail, and the small shops are getting fewer and fewer. Good luck and God bless, boxcar

Just bought some of the round FH at a local show this past Sat. It is nice(great color)..... Can not wait to use it.. It should make some real nice skirts.it really is not much bigger than the flat,but with some different colors. Maybe I will get some pics up in the future. Good luck and God bless, boxcar.
