Would anyone be interested in a micro jig/fly swap? Jig heads would be 1/64 oz. or smaller.
Bob9
I would
I hope we can get more interested. If we could get 5 or 6 persons and tie 2 patterns each = 10 or 12 total.
Bob9
I would be willing to jump in with y'all on a swap. Sounds interesting :)
Half way there. If we could get 3 more, that would make it worthwhile.
Bob9
I'm a new tier, but I'd like to be involved.
Great, TMax27. Just need a couple more.
Bob9
I would get in. Is it just some pattern that we do that is differant or a favorite? How many do we swap?
Felix, check out the sticky at the top on how a jig swap works. Looks like we are gonna do two jigs/patterns for this one. So if we get 6 folks to participate, you would make up 5 jigX and 5 jigY. I'm gonna make up a jig for myself too, so I'll have the whole set of jigs. Not sure if everyone makes an extra for themselves, but I am.
It looks like 2 patterns of your choice, with heads of 1/64 oz. or smaller.
In jig swaps, you usually tie patterns for your self, which will be returned.
This makes it easier for the swapmeister to sort.

Ok, I wondered about jigs for yourself. Thanks for the clarification! Any idea when we will know how many folks are participating and when to have the jigs to the swapmaster?
I will close the signup when we get 6 or Monday morning, April 8th. Deadline for mailing will be April 22nd. That gives everyone 2 weeks to tie and I can return them about May 1st.
Any problems with that time frame?
Bob9
Sounds good to me.
Five members total for the Micro Jig/Fly Swap. Each member will tie 2 patterns of 5 each (10 total) on 1/64 or smaller jig heads.
Please mail by April 22nd. I will PM my address shortly.

Some Suggestions
Micro Jig/Fly hooks can be found on eBay.
Jig hooks and brass beads are sold by Allen Fly Fishing
Walmart has fine wire cricket hooks that can be bent at a 45 degree angle and then slide on a brass bead.
Thanks for participating & enjoy.

Have you heard from Felix and doc?
FelixD was working overtime. It made it hard for him to get to the post office. Maybe he got a chance to mail them Saturday.
I got a PM from bigdoc the first day of tying, nothing since. That's almost (3) weeks.
I'll PM them both Monday, if nothing arrives in the mail.

Wish I had seen this post earlier I love tying smaller jigs and such... most of what I use is 1/64 or smaller... Will someone post a pic of each others jigs when you all get them? :)
I plan to post pictures of the jigs/flies, when I finally get all of them.
