I've been making my own jigs for a couple of years and I'm considering doing it as a sideline. I know this is no way to get rich and this is not my intent but I would like to be able to do enough where it pays for itself and my fishing trips.

What are some of the tax advantages you could get by making an selling your own baits? Can you write off fishing trips where you advertise and sell baits?

Where would I need to go to get more information on this? What's the best way to develp new customers?

Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
