    This DVD is excellent:

    White River Fly Shop Handcrafting Effective Jigs Video with Lefty Kreh & Mike Huffman - DVD | Bass Pro Shops: The Best Hunting, Fishing, Camping & Outdoor Gear

    Youtube is loaded with videos, too.

    OK, I just noticed this is in the "soft plastics" section, so this may not be what you're looking for.

    Got me a catalog from mold it today...a question I have is. Some of the different jigs say grubs some say tail for same thing. Does that mean it's a two part jig? Also they have lami plates on some jigs is this for two colors? Like I said I know nothing about this thanks
