we are starting to box up stuff for moving so a lot of the stuff you cannot see in the picture is the boxes piled on the shelves.

My boys have the same light you have...and they tie with it. The oldest was on here last night and saw your light. One has a blue and the other has a black one....and yours is white. LOL. They were SOO excited that they tied with the same light as Bob "snakeriver". They put their tools in their light also.

You are influencing young jig tyers/crappie fishermen and didn't even know it!

I'm glad that I influence your boys I'm sure that they will become good at this hobby and I hope that the enjoy it the rest of their lives I had a man in my life influenced me so much when I was fishing when I was young man I even dressed like him I wore the same hat and decorated it with jigs I even had a bag it was an old army surplus exactly like yes he Me out of trouble as young man in night was a good friend of his or over 55 years I lost this great person in my life a few years back but I will never forget what a wonderful guy that he was in sharing everything that he knew about fishing with me though Frank was not a jig tying person but he knew an awful lot and was very skillful at fishing for crappie back then I used the 8 foot fly rod with monofilament about 10 pound test for the mainline and would go out for 6 pound test for a leader I fish this way for over 20 years can't tell you how many fish but I caught using a fly rod in jigs since then we switched over to light graphite spinning rod but to just want to share how one person influenced me should say really two people my uncle Darrell was the other he was a hunter and fisherman he took me out when I was three years old fishing caught my first bluegill so there you go I hope that everyone on here will spend a few hours with the young man or young lady showing them the way of a beautiful way to live fishing. and of course there's beautiful hobby that we all share.

A long time back someone posted his station that he tied at, and had been tying at for many years. It was a jighead in a pair of vise grips held in a bench vise bolted to his workbench in the garage. Never be embarrassed to show what you use. From the humblest beginnings come great things. How many times have we heard of someone who started tying one jig with mom's sewing thread and hair from the dog, cat or roadkill and they consistently loaded up on the fish. Take the pics and show them off, and make sure you keep them to look at in a few years.
