I think there a lot of reasons for tying your own jigs. Color selection, better hooks, and curing the aggravation of "unraveling". I think I tie a tough, durable jig. I believe a tight wrap and most importantly a good finish tie-off with good thread. I glue the knots with a little water based cement and have never had a problem. However, I tied up some RoadRunner type jigs for a buddy who fishes for White Bass and I actually put a little glue along the thread where I wrapped the hook before attaching tail and body materials. He said they nearly wore the blades out, but the jigs stayed together.

Anyone do anything special that you feel makes your jigs a little tougher?
