Thread: Hand tied jigs!

I haven't post here in a long time, got into soft plastics and there is where I found a new love. I taught my neighbor how to tie, set him up with a Dan vise and all the products. He is 77 and doesn't have a computer or a cell phone. No internet to follow so he has after a few lessons is self taught like me but I have you guys and the Internet . He has so surprised me with his work and here is the reason for the post. We are fishing partners, this season each time we go out he is testing all kinds of hair jigs..no chenilles, crystal flash is different locations. Early in the morning and on cloudy days he whipped my tail of coarse he is in the back which has an advantage😉 so this past weekend I tied a tiny 1/50 and used it on the bottom of a double rig and wow it caught fish until I lost it in a brush pile. So if your tying don't quit but Browns and natural colors when the water is clear will wear the crappie out! The fox tail was the big winner.

I liked the first post. Growing up i had a lot of friends that were older and we worked well together. I think back on them all the time. Good friendships were formed there. Your follow up post just spoke of how much you think of one another. I have said in other posts that good friends are worth more than hard currency. You're fortunate to have him so close. You know who put him there.
