Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Wanted to learn to tie because I love using small jigs for bluegill. I bought a tying kit from bass pro and have been practicing flies from the video the past couple of days. Made first jig this morning from some of the marabou and hackle that came with the kit. Here are a few pics of what I have done. Any comments or constructive criticism appreciated.

Looks good so far! The second one looks deadly. Gills seem t like wet flies. Keepit up! Just like anything else, practice makes it easier.
Hey Joe they all look good, I think I'ed fatten up that Phesent tail a little though. If and when I ever use the fly rod the Phesent tail is the first fly I put on. I like the bugger as well.
Here are a couple more I tied tonight.
