So what do you guys think about his selection? He picked them all and really the Roadrunners he picked from my Favorites!
I was having trouble being right over the top of them because of a shadow from the camera. So will add the Roadrunners by themselves below.

Thank you guys1
The Roadrunners I always put that Black eye on mostly because Blakemore does that. Not sure why I do, but since they let me paint, tie and sell these I just do that. The other are just regular 1/16 Oz jigs and no matter the kook type I don't do eyes unless someone insist and then I charge to paint them on. My personal jigs don't have eyes either unless it's a Roadrunner, LOL!
Only excuse I have for eyes on them, LOL!
I should also say the feather with the Green is FL Yellow. Someone else does that jig here and we booth have tied it for a really long time now, but it started with just Yellow and I expanded it a bit to FL Yellow.

Hey Skip, My monitor is kinda weird with color sometimes (or maybe it's my eye's) but is that right column with your Forest Green chenille? Again, EXCELLENT TIE's!!

Skip,
What size are the RRs'? Digging the Chartreuse/Black, might have to see about buying a dozen for a soon trip to the NW
As always Skip, nice jigs. Wish mine looked half as good as yours!!

I have started using flo feathers in most of my sweet-water jigs. The only ones that don't have it are tyed from turkey feathers I harvest myself. Really good work Skip and he picked some great colors. It isn't easy tying that many of one pattern and have them all look the same.

Thanks guys! Jig Man it does take a lot of tying to devolope habits that help and this is one place my OCD helps me, LOL! Spending, it's a different story, LOL! Flo feathers are very important I think for several reasons and fist and for most is they can be seen farther away by the fish. Not so much these fresh water fish, but some fish lite up so much that they seem to glow. Mostly here thinking about Dolphins here and not the porpoise kind like Flipper, LOL! When hooked and fighting them they really pop with color, so don't think nature looks at bright or glowing type colors as being not real.
