I'm new to crappie .com. But I have been making tackle all my life. From the time I got my first creepy crawler set as a kid. That was when you could get real toys for christmas. Looking at all the jig pictures that have been posted, I have to say that assembled on this site is some of the best natural talent anywhere. To the new tiers you have done very well. But watch out it gets in your blood. You can never Quit! Great site.Great Work.
we've been making jigs since I was 13 it is very addicting as you will find out if you start this hobby I will be 63 years old in April. so you know how long I've been tying I think I got hooked on it when I was a young kid.and from all of us guys that make jigs thank you for your compliments.

Thank you, we got this board started a few years back and it has just kept growing and growing. I do warn each and ever one that this is really addicting and not low cost for most of us. I know much I have in materials and I may be a bit to the over do it side and some I know hold back better than I do, but still you just can't seem to stop with what you need. It has to go into things that are new and exciting, when I see something I like I buy it and may even take 6 months or more to decide what to do what it, LOL!
So glad to have you here and hope you enjoy the board.

Ha, Ha, Ha, I had to laugh when you mentioned "creepy crawlers"!! I thought I was the only one old enough to remember them. My brother got the creepy crawler kit when I was about 14. I remember thinking, "hey, I could make some neat lures with that!" I used a lot of em in several gravel pits around my area and can remember thinking...these would be much better if they wereQuote:

I agree with you on "some of the best natural talent anywhere" and the greatest part is these "big dogs" are more than willing to help us wannbe's along with all of our questions and trials! I have learned a ton of info after not being on the site very long. I used to think I was saving a few bucks by
making my own lures and jigs. Now I realize I'm just able to have wider choices and lots of em!!! Addictive-YES! Satisfying-YES, Boring-NEVER!!
As for me,I think awsome site is more like it. Since I have been lurking on it I have my new saying:"How'd he do that...........?" Wowser would work too I quess. lol Great folks here.
This site is where I learned how to tie jigs and there are some great teachers here to answer any question!!
My internal motor runs pretty quick. And I see I'm not alone. I got started to have something to do, inside, this winter. The wife bought me a desk to tie on and store my stuff for Christmas, and it's already overfull. I think the "bug" has me. Great site, great guys and more fun than I ever dreamed.
And a big welcome from Middle Tennessee.
