This is how it looks and works, presently, in my neck of the woods. Except when I go, I don't catch nearly as many fish. :)

Winter Fishing In Indiana (Video)
A pretty nice video presented by Brian Waldman of Big Indiana Bass. It involves spoonplugging theory and hair jigs during a recent fishing trip (December 29).

Closing Out 2014
Here are some more jigs that I tied recently. Likely, the last for 2014.
Each is tied on a 1/8-ounce ball jig with a #2 bronze hook. Two-tone brush tapping and painting the jig heads with glitter was enjoyable.

Winter Jigs Intended for Smallmouth Bass
Here are a couple of jigs that I tied last night. Used two types of material, Lash Max eyelash yarn and craft fur. I hope to soak these along a river bottom over the holidays.
Jigs weigh 1/8 of an ounce and have #2 black nickel sickle hooks.

It's Been A While
I hadn't done anything in the way of jig tying since last September. 'Twas good to get back into it, as I decided to put a bit of concentration and effort into painting jigs with glitter topcoats. Here are two examples of my recent work.
And...just in time for Christmas, I decided to make festive holiday jigs that just might catch a bass (or two) if cast into the water. ;) Anyway, here's a list of materials used to create these jigs.

Best wishes for the new year and have yourself a great holiday season.
