Hey boarbuster, The 2 cheapest places i have seen is crazyanglertackle.com and grandpabobscustomjigs.com

For jigheads, i know grousefly sells them for 10 bucks per 100, which is a great deal.

The chenille i like to use is the newage type of chenille. It has all kinds of cool wacky colors.

For feathers you want marabou and/or hackle. Cut the marabou off the stem.

For hair, you can use all kinds of hair, bucktail, calf tail (kiptail), Squirrel tail... you get the picture.

For thread get 140 or 210 denier flat waxed tying thread. OR monofilament thread.

You can also check out barlows, jannsnetcraft, and lurepartsonline.

Lure parts online has rubber legs 2.99 per 5ft strips. 3-6 inches in height.

For flash get flashabou or krystal flash, angel hair is too messy.

Hope i could help,
~Nick

As far as jig heads, hard to beat Ron Don @ LABAITS.

I saw that on the other board. That's 1 good in the last 20 I've read about. If its improving I'm glad bc I appreciate small business and his prices are good. But many complaints. Majority rules.
Know guys waiting on year old stuff.
Tried to justify it to myself and heard there was some health issues.
Gotta shut it down a minute when there's those problems.
Hopefully they get their back orders one day. If the items were out, to me, they shldve been updated on site prior.
I wish them the best, but am leery.

What brand of trying vice would be the best. I do not remember the brand I saw on here but the person using it said it had alot of features that some people did not really understand how to use yet. He also said it was not cheap.
