This is the first bait I've ever built and I think I did an ok job. I have a lot of learning ahead of me . It got real fat towards the end of tying it, I think I wasn't trimming off the right amount of feathers and it started to build. And I think I need longer coils gonna try and put two together on the next one. I didn't have a vise or a bobbin, and used a crappy old dull scissors . I think the right equipment would've help. So I going to wait to build my next one and do it right. Let me know what you guys think of my first go, any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Looks awesome. 100xs Better than my first tie. Once you get a decent vice it will be a lot easier to work with. Always use head cement or epoxy on your ties! It is a very addicting hobby!

Looks great! Don't worry about it building up. That's just a learning curve. That puppy will catch you some fish! I love your choice of colors.
