I picked up some bargain jigs at Walmart for $ .50 per 10 pack, so I dusted off my old fly tying gear and spruced them up a bit!
I might buy some more jigs if they still have them. I did buy some plain road runners, but I'm not sure what to put on them yet.

Those will do fine.
Jigs look good! Personally to tie them I would cut the collar off and actually they will probably weigh closer to what they say they are after you cut them off!
If your Roadrunners also have a collar I would cut them off, but that's me!

Thanks!
I cut the collars off- However I wondered how much lighter it may have made them.
I just got some of those Arkie jigs too. Man I need a fly tying kit.
Were they clearance'd out there too? I went back and bought another $5-6 bucks worth. So thats 100+ jigs or so. I love cheap stuff.
Just grab a decent vise and the necessary stuff in a few colors!
You made the cheap look expensive!
They were a dollar a pack so they were cheaper.Quote:

I have a digital scale and have weighed so many sizes, most between 1/80 Oz - 1/4 Oz and it's very rare for one to be correct!Quote:
