I like that. Depending on how the jig turns out that name can be viewed as a question or a statement..... :-)

i agree, looks good , also agree with D, a new jig in the world ,,,a wattisitjig.

It is a pretty jig !!!! I learned to use glue in each layer tied as well as on the hook. I sent a few to fishervet to field test. some of them fell apart before the fish had a chance to see them

Yes there's a learning curve for sure. Found some YouTube videos but you still have to get a feel for it. I think my main problem so far is using too much material per jig. Speaking of that, now I need to get some chenille and more tail material for diff jigs I wanna do.

One more thing, after tying a few jigs and powder coating and painting eyes on about 100 jig heads I could never do this to sell. I couldn't put a price tag on the amount of time invested in this stuff. My hats off to the guys that do sell....

You are so right 20watt, trying to figure a price would be impossible. I'm glad I'll never have to worry about that. Just tying some for me to fish with and maybe a few to give away as a blessing to some of our CDC brothers and sisters. I'll be glad when I catch my first fish on a jig that I tied.

Well as promised I would update this thread when I caught a fish on my first jig. Today was that day, it's a whopper boys.... There is a certain sense of accomplishment comes along with it even if it is a runt.

sweet Jimmy Watt.....now send me that jig!!!!!!!!

That is awesome Jimmy. Think of all the big ones he had to fight off to go first. I love looking at all the work of you jig makers. But alas, I'm a buyer, not a tyer. (not sure on the spelling, but it rhymes)"D"
