Spon, MAKE MORE!. Those look great for first time. I started about 60 years ago and my first didn't look too good but dumb ass Brook Trout didn't care. I'd make some with Chartruse (SP?) and white as well as some black and white for saltwater. Don't mix the white and other but layer the 2 colors. Also don't use too much crystal flash, yours look about right, take some waterproof markers to match the hatch if all you have is white bucktail and don't dress them too thick-slimmer is generally better. Good Luck!-Muddy

Sponxx, those will definitely catch fish. muddy cast you some good info. If you're spinning, the top 3 will bring the hammer without additional hardware. Some scent can go a long way. The last pic with the brown skirt loosk pretty good. Light brown skirt with a little flash, light brown jig head, scent. Golden. Check Capt Hank Brown's stuff. Bangy dangy.
Good Luck! LD

Thankd for the tips... I wasn't sure there was enough buckhair, but they look balanced. Some look fat, because the ridges on the jighead fan the hair out.
I'll try some other colors. I have some pink craft fur now, so may layer hot pink/white. Good idea about the waterproof markers. The naked hooks are for teasers on spoons, they are poison on corvinas.

Take a moment with a file to get rid of the ridges before tying.
