Anyone who has trouble with the kip tails, try calf body hair. It really is alot easier to tie with, but there is something about kip tail.
Someday I'll break down and buy a fluid bed but heck I'm set in my ways and still paint and then epoxy cover alot of my jigs.
The pattern jigs with hackle are used alot by trout fisherman on flyrods, I still have an old Vermont Fins and Feathers magazine (early 80's) that has an introductory article about making and tying jigs, but the REALLY neat article in the same mag is tying trout patterns on those same painted jigheads for folks who use spinning rods.
Lot's of innovative ideas on this site. Keep tying up those jigs folks.
