    Well Samantha(Sammy) discovered she like making jigs as much as catching fish. She's always been very into arts and crafts, and very creative, always inventing and making stuff. Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. I realized my local bait shop sold all the materials to tie jigs - except a vise..so I whipped one up in the woodshop. The past few days have been really fun. She took right to it and has made probably 30 or 40 by now. Cant wait till she catches her first fish on one that she made.

      Awesome. I started tying flies in 5th grade as a science fair project. She is the future of our sports. Hopefully your post will get other children with similar "arts and crafts" style interests into trying it out.

      Sounds like a good retirement plan for you if she keeps it up. Good looking jigs.

      There's a lot more to this than making jigs. This is a young lady that isn't spending all her time texting, emailing, surfing the net, etc. Good job Mom and Pop.
