Well I had to get in on the fun and try my hand at putting together a few jigs.  Wow, what a whole new world when you look at all the colors and patterns available if you make your own skirts rather than get the prepackaged!  Just a few while sitting in the car at lunch

a thank you to all who have posted tips/videos!

those look great. You started with NuTech's and made your own skirts?

Job well done. And great choice of jig to work with.

I agree with what the others have said, they all look great! Just be careful, this stuff can get very addicting!  lo

As Lip said, let us know how they work! Pics are always welcome!  ;)

They look awesome and I'm sure the green fishies will agree. I lost a hole winter one year building jig skirts, that spring I had so many I didn't know what to try first  :surrender:

They look great. You should update us with caught bass you land with them. Good luck and congrats on the work

Good looking jigs! Well done

Those are great looking jigs! What you'll love even more is when you hook up with a nice fish using your own designed jigs. Feels infinitely better than catching them on the store bought stuff.
