I have seen some awfully pretty jigs on several forums, so I am going to have to jump in and start tying my own.......I need to buy a jig vise..I have a ton of scrap fur...bunches of feathers from my flock..and a bunch of thread...I searched my tackle box and found some new jigs...plus I have been watching some YouTube tying videos...
If you all have any advice...I'd appreciate any input !!
BTW....this my first post on crappie.com...:)
MaryLou..

Welcome to the madness Marylou. If I can help you in any way just let me know.

I hope you enjoy this place as much as I have.......brim
Welcome from AL MaryLou. I also just started tying about a week ago. first I read a lot of threads on here, watched the YouTube videos and asked questions here and got great answers. A couple of days ago I caught my first fish on one of my jigs, it's a great feeling.
Welcome from Mishawaka,Indiana.This is a great site for information on jig tying and when you start tying you just can't stop.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Marylou, just a heads up...if you have a powder paint question ask Cadman, if you have a jig tying supplies question ask Flatfish, if you want to know how to tie up very small jigs ask Jigging joe and Illinoisgiller (ole giller ), if you want to be confused talk to Grubfarmer (just kiddin ya grubby), if you want to know what the fish are thinking about ask me, and most of all if you want to know the meaning of life (or any other really important questions ) talk to God.....just my 2 pennys worth.....brim
Thank You all for your info and Welcomes !!.:)...Yes, I plan to read all the stickies in the top of the page....
Thanks Guys !!....

I just looked around your site, very nice but I don't think I could fish holding a snake in my hand:eek::D:D
LRB,
Mary Lou, I too have just started tying and Skiptomylu has given me a lot of input.
He referred me to [url=http://www.bobmarriottsflyfishingstore.com url].
When I went to that site I found, I guess, EVERY vise on the market.
It lists them in alphabetical order and gives the price and description.
When you find one that interests you, go to eBay, if you wish, type in "Fly Tying Vises" and find out the "street price" of the vises you have selected.

PS In the jig tying forum on here scroll down and find & read the thread "What they don't tell you about Fly tying" about funny things that have happened to us that no one warned us about when we started - maybe you can avoid some of those things !

Welcome, glad to see more and more people joining up here and taking an interest in tying! I am fairly new to it myself and I have learned a ton from the members on here and practice. Great group of people on this board and some awesome creations as well.

LRB,
I recommend starting off with a beginner vise. It is inexpensive, you might learn how to tie better on one, and you will have a spare when you buy a better one down the road that you can lend to someone else who wants to try it.
sounds like some pretty sound advice to me there.... as far as Grub I am still confused... LOL .... just kidding there grubQuote:

OKStatejiggy.....
I was checking out the vises in the Janns Netcraft catalogue...thought about buying a cheaper one first..then upgrading later !!..Just like I did with my fishing equipment !!...:D
Many Thanks..:)

Another option is older Herter's or Thompson vises off of eBay.
