Crappie Dot Com Steelhead Jig Swap - Part 1

This is my first group of ties submitted to a Crappie Dot Com jig swap of steelhead jigs.

Watched a couple of videos on tying Schlappen feather jigs. I've used Schlappen before, though not in the manner shown in the videos. The west coast guys in the videos are real pros at tying these. Mine look nowhere near as good as theirs. I've got a ways to go with this style.

Taught myself some important points about feather selection and learned how to turn these feathers over the shank from the videos. Not all Schlappen feathers are created equal. Watch out for feathers with twisted plumes!

This is turning out to be a very good learning swap for me. :)
