addicted

got 7 year old grandson ethan started tying last weekend ,I think he is addicted also , I gonna have to tell him to play 60 minutes a day ,can't ty all day long . I'll have to get a second job to support his material habit !!:) he really likes to tie spiders ,cut his own body shapes from foam he had for some school project, said poppy can I use this to ty with ?looks like it will work ,he is having a ball .Now he wants to mix and paint his own jig heads ,he thinks don't need my help!!! WOW!!the young minds imagination!!!Attachment 78659Attachment 78660Attachment 78661Attachment 78662

Really great and can do it for life. The only problem is the addiction problem and I can vouch for
That and so can my wife. She thinks I crazy, LOL!

VERY NICE TIES FOR A YOUNGEN. his bugs look awesome. whats the body on the yellow tail jig?

That's what it is all about, pass it on!:) Nice tied jigs and spiders :highfive

That's cool, make sure to put a couple aside so he can reminisce later in life.

just a hackle feather palmered in .like the red neck one just not real good job at it,but it will prolly catchem

That's cool , gaurenteed to catch fish

He's definitely intent on his work in the pic. Great thing to occupy a young mind.

Now you've done it, I was afraid if I ever started tying I couldn't be anywhere near as good as most of the guys on this site and now I see, I'll never be as good as a 7 year old. Very humbling!

Loved to see it and you'll have a fishing partner for a very long time. Would love to see a pic of his first fish caught off of one his own ties. Congrats, you've got him started off right.
