Sharing is the fun part, I've posted several time about this but it is fun. If I get some stuff I am not using I'll bag them up and go to the local kids fishing derby and share them there. Kids love free stuff. Just keep on tying.

I have this much. 1/16 oz, 1/8 oz and a 1/4 oz box. Gradually adding to them. Working on narrowing down which ones work better as I don’t believe in having a thousand different shapes and sizes when a select few get the job done. How many will it narrow down to? Probably 999!!! My 1/8 oz box needs some work.

Like the organization shown the Doc. Always like your ties, nice work. I couldn’t have an eighth ounce box, don’t use them much down here. I’d have to tie for a week if I went back to TN for a weeks fishing. Now sixteenth and thirty seconds I could use, they get frequent play. Now the tiny box I have to hold myself back from over stuffing it. It’s shallow and grabby here so most times when I get hung, I just go after it and get it back. I use the same jig for a long time. I used to give away jigs at the ramp regularly in TN but not so much here. Lots of trolling and minnow fishin and folks just set in their ways.
I haven't been tying very long, maybe a couple years altogether, but mostly just here and there. I will say the more I tie, the better they look to me anyway. Here's my current two box's and my latest work. 132 hatchet heads, and 1/16 oz ball heads. All in chartreuse and black weave.
Only second or third time trying to do a weave. All in all there's just over 400 jigs between the two box's.Attachment 399554Attachment 399555Attachment 399556

Thank you for the kind words Pie Guy. Hoping to get them wet this week-end...
More than I need but not enough to stop! Its all I use!
I just started tying back in January. I've got 800-1000 in the boat and tie most evenings. It is very satisfying to tie a jig and then have a crappie slam it the next morning. Attachment 399950Attachment 399951
