That's what I was trying to warn you about...I call it "Small child in the Candy Store Effect". I consider myself a rookie at tying yet, even after 8 yrs. of off/on tying. Walk in a tyers shop, and my head goes bonkers...sometimes I'll get everything I think I went for, and many things I didn't, and will have to go back because I forgot a key ingredient in a pattern I wanted to tie. Way to many distractions for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your ties, so be sure to post them up.

My favorite online site for tying materials is Woods & Water. Patrick ships the sameday and he provides lots of options.

Thanks ! I see all kinds of good stuff I want there. My wife ain't gonna appreciate it but I sure do .

I went to the fly fishing show in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. The vise most professional there used was the nor-vise line of vises. I will say it’s the most impressive vise I saw but also the most expensive.
I use a Griffin Spider. It’s a great vise to get stared tying with. I’ve used mine for over twenty years and used it a lot. It’s getting to where it’s getting hard to turn. I’ve always kept it lubricated. I called to discuss the problem and the replacement parts were almost as much as I paid for the vise when I first bought it. So I looked at vises at the show and for my budget it came down to the Peak or the Renzetti. I’m still back and forth on which one to purchase. I’m most likely going to purchase the Renzetti 2000

Anyone have a suggestion where to buy bulk unpainted jig heads ? I went to a local shop that has bigger size bulk heads but they would knot order me crappie jigs said to much of a hassle to ship them and they were just unwilling to help me out .

Litewire hooks
Woods and Water outdoors
Limits Tackle
I love jigs

you could also post a WTB in personal classified forum.

You can try at Simply Crappie...Your one stop source for all your crappie fishing needs! but he goes by Bugman here on the site

Oh yeah can’t forget I forgot Simply Crappie. Jamie does a good job and has almost every kind.

Thanks for all the great information .I couldn't see the entire woods and water site on my Kindle so I didn't see the jigs .my wife had to show me to click on desk top screen I'm not to good on computers .again thanks the people on crappie.com .

I would buy a Law vise if I had the money. Can you believe the price they are wanting for them?
