Hook Size

(Figured making my own jigs might be a bit cheaper) LOL !! Wait till the addiction really takes over !!

LOL, I know you found out sticksteer right? This is very addicting hobby and if you think this will save money, I don't care what you do other than quit you will not save money. You absolutely need to take this on just because you love tying and fishing with the jigs you made. However open your pocket book because it's going to drain!

Is it something like the addiction to tying jigs? LOL....Started messing around with that a bit already....

Ths sickle hooks will fit in the do-it molds. Sometimes you have to modify just a little for the point of the hook. The do-it mold is easily modified with drimmel tool or drill bit. Captainhooks is one place to purchase hooks.......there are several others. The #2 Hook is in my opinion the best hook size to use......but many others like the #4.

I like the #2 hook size.

What will happen is at first you will get what you need to tie what you want, but then as you get better and see materials that give you the thought,I can do something with that stuff so you buy it.then it's on! Also if you ever tie any flies it will only get much worse,

when it really gets bad, you'll start carrying a pair of side cutters with you so you can cut the the tails off fresh road kill for tying material !!

Or start to think about cutting a little hair off your pets, LOL! I have so many different kind of hair and fur I don't even remember them all.
