Survival Paracord Jig - hand tied no vise!

Whether you are truly in a survival situation or if business decides to shut down and you can't buy fishing lures for a while (it was like that for a while and walmart was totally sold out for any outdoor stuff for me) you can always make your own lures! Most of us here know it in this forum, especially the jig tying thread! But can you tie a lure without a vise and bobbin winder? Absolutely! Did a tutorial for those who ever in need of making a lure using paracords! I always have at least one stashed under my driver seat within my car and a small knife! will take these out for some crappie fishing soon once i can make some time! baby/wife comes first these days! (yes i got a new born!)

Here's the video tutorial! anyone use paracords for their crappie jigs? post em up!

Thanks man i appreciate it! i still make videos, but i rarely go crappie fishing. I have been doing mainly product testing for BFS (bait finesse systems or a fancy way of saying Ultralight baitcasters) at a local pond. That actually have made me grown more subs and also within the BFS community. I do have a video i can share for panfishing topwater. i'll pop that in after i settle down in the morning :P

It's a cool idea and i know some folks have used it. i tied a few via on a vise for trout and crappies, but i was doing a sponsored (Cough cough) gig and i wanted to do a twist for covid 19 lol.. never had i seen my stores so empty of fishing stuff!

I wrap all my custom fishing rods and some commercial rods with the paracord. The rod handles give me a better grip when wrapped with this amazing product.
