What am I doing ?!?!?!

[bdorman]

I just ordered another 175 bare jig heads. On top of the 100 I ordered and painted last month. I've tied about 50 jigs.

Last year I fished about 30 hours per week; half of them trolling and the other half casting from the dock. I lost/destroyed/discarded maybe 15 jigs ALL YEAR.

I'll have enough hand-ties for the next 18 years! If you add my meager plastics collection, I'm set for at least another 25 years.

And even then I won't have made a dent in the powder paint, feathers, flash, etc that's in my tie-box.

I need a 12-step program. banghead

Oh, by the way, what's your favorite color powder paint?

[Tenntodd]

Sapphire Blue is my favorite color for jigheads. Sounds like you are hooked...lol

[Hair Jigs]

See how many you have if you pour your own!!! I bought a whole bunch of new colors of powder and I ran out of bare horse head jigs (had painted all the others) so I had to pour some more. Also did ball head, minnow, tube and pony heads.

this is from last Saturday

Tray 2


I also tie flies so have way more feathers than I'll ever use but we're all hooked LOL

Every now and then I see things in my box that haven't moved in a while, so I dig em out and list them on the personal classified ads here on CDC. Some of our non tying brothers are glad to get em and it makes room for more addiction satisfaction. Works for me.

Hey Fatman, I saw that photo in your original post and thought "wow, that guy's got it bad!"

Nice to know I'm not the only one who is tying more than he'll ever use. I'll give away a bunch of them but there really aren't many crappie fisherman around here; on my homelake most are after bass and northern pike and they use baits that are about the size of my tackle box.

And thanks for the color recommendations banghead

Ruby Slipper is awesome. So is Junebug and Emerald Shiner, all of which you can get (1oz) for a good price at crazy angler.

I've been pouring since my Uncle got me going with helping him and later it was me pouring for him and his buddies. Ah the good ol days. I've been pouring over 35 years so yeah I got it bad, but it's just too much fun and cheaper than buying them. My first Do-It 1/8 and 1/4 oz mold cost me a whopping $13!!!!
