Getting started in tying jigs

Vise, scissors, bobbin, thread puller, whip finisher- you tube how to finish off the jig.

But I beg you with all my heart dont do it..... theres not a rehab on earth that can break this addiction!!
Good luck.

You’ve been warned!
It’s very addictive, before long you’ll be picking up extra shifts at work. So you have money to buy more chenille! LOL

I will also agree with the ones above telling you this addiction is real and costly. It's a lot of fun to tie and to catch on something you tied is the icing on the cake!

standing on your own, the learning curve can drive you nutz! buy good quality {maybe not the most costly} and ask these guys questions. I havent yet had a question not answered when I've asked this group. Most important? HAVE FUN!!! Oh and buying material is as bad an addiction as tying the Jig!!! Or is it me?

I have tied a few ones and you don’t need to make it too complicated. I have a DIY vice from parts I had in the garage. Scissors and a bobbin are the only other tools I use. I use my fingers instead of a whip finnish tool. Then I bought a few colors of chenille, saddle hackle , flashabou and thread. This will allow me to tie some of the most common patterns for my area.

That’s a great looking jig and should work good. How it was made doesn’t matter as much as the results. Very nice.

The fish doesn't know how it was made

They if it hold the hook good and your doing well, what else do you need really! If you get down to it you can start really low cost, but for the majority of us, the start was just that, the start, lol!

Once you tie a jig that you fish with and catch a fish on it, your totally hooked!
