One of the best references available is a book called 'Production Fly Tying' by A.K. Best. It is oriented on fly tying but all the information adapts easily to tying jigs. It for professional fly tiers but is in plain everyday language and covers all the basics of tying with lots of simple tricks thrown in. All the tools are explained with some recommendations (and not necessarily the most expensive.) He discusses about every material available. Mine is an old one but I repeatedly go to it for reference. Many books have been written by (and about) him but this is the one I would recommend. If you are ever near one of his lectures I would most certainly go.

Wow!!! Thanks for all the replies. I do have an addictive personality so yes I may be in trouble, heck that’s why I don’t turkey hunt because I don’t need another something to consume my thoughts. Deer and fishing already do that enough. Still gonna give it a shot though. Lol. Anyway thanks again everyone looking forward to a fun and exciting fishing season

Thanks again everyone. Quick question on the jugs... do they have the collar to hold a soft bait below the head or does the lead stop right at the back of the head

Most will not have the collar, ( ball head ) mold. You can use with the collar, I’ve tied in the past with them but went and bought a ball head mold due to selling them. Attachment 285898Attachment 285899 this mold is a 1/32 & 1/24.

Try YouTube. Type in "tying a crappie jig" and you can get lost for hours.
