I have long been a junk collector and bargain hunter, and I hit the Garage Sales nearly
every weekend. Here are some items I found for jig tying -

Purchased 4 boxes of this material from Japan... I think it is meant for crochet, but I saw it
as possible body material for smaller jigs. It is on cards like chenille -

Got these 4 boxes plus some other stuff for $2.00 -


Then, at a different sale, I found these rolls of Mylar ribbon...
It is semi-transparent, and I split it in half lengthwise on the diagonal
for tail accents.
