Getting setup

I tie or make jigs for my own use. Here are a few I’ve tied.

I’m not scare to lose a jig so I go thru a lot of them. I’m retired so pouring and painting my jigs just seems like the next step in my fishing career.

Don't feel too bad about the tying area being a bit full, I will show you mine just to make you feel better, lol!

This is a little older and more neat than it is right now, lol! Actually my room is much worse and more full of stuff!

One more thing that I have learned over the years of jig crafting and fishing is pay attention to what works for your waters. Experimenting is a must but I have found things that I thought was awesome and the fish were not as impressed and visa versa. Keep up the good work.

Skip I have been fascinated with all your Inventory. I would not have a clue were to start looking for something in your shop. LOL

Yeah looks like he is a little short on thread.

That is one thing I miss and has a lot to do with why I don’t pour plastics, jigheads and what not anymore. Downed size houses back in 2017 and no longer have 3 car garage. I sure miss having my work area. New house everything has to be portable which I hate and I will not pour/paint in the house. Thinking about buying some land somewhere and building a shop so I can get back into it like I use to.

Here’s a shot of my tying desk. Lot’s of material in the drawers also and not counting what’s out in utility room.

Depends, how’s the fishing? It’s horrible around me and have to drive 2 hours to get on them.

Within about 2 hrs drive you could almost get to all lakes in NC. I live in very center of the state. The pictures I posted with yours last Sunday we’re from lake about 15 minutes from my house if that. I also swung by and got a biscuit so maybe 20 minutes.. lol
