Thread: First hand tied jig!

Awesome thanks... The addiction has kicked in just ordered more stuff!

Looks great!! After you catch a fish on a hand tied hand made bait a bought jig(wal-mart )is not the same!! And you sure do not want to lose one!!

Yes it is an addiction there are a ton of people on this board that will be very willing to help you along the way. If you need jig heads and I mean nice ones at a great price. Give bobogreybeard on this forum a shout. He will take care of you and is always willing to offer some advice.

Oh awesome... Thanks... I will definitely have to give him a shout! I just ordered heads but didn't notice until it was to late I got Walleye head instead of round!

Welcome to tying. Nice start, jigs get better with each one tied and those already are looking good.

Yes get ready for that first fish, they will set the hook just that much deeper in you, LOL! Nice first!

Thank yall!

When you catch your fist fish on your first hand tied jig, it is like nothing you have felt. Be sure to cut the jig off at that point and put it up. You will want to save it for the trophy case. Do not tempt fate with it, because about 9 out of 10 who do, end up loosing the jig in brush or something.


Great looking first ties and welcome to the insanity.


Let me know if I can be of any help. There is littlerally probably 500 years of tying experience of this board and most of us will help you out along the way. Someone once helped all of us, so it is a pleasure to pay it forward.



Good luck,

Bobo
