It was called a Sain's Jig. I have been contacted about tying something similar and have been doing some research and it seems to be a Tennessee thing. So I figured I would start at the source...any pics or info would be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance...
I haven't seen one of those in a long time. My dad used them. Seems like I remember them being made in the Reelfoot area? Post up some pics of what you make if you don't mind.
Will do but it seems to be a nitch thing....either they was made in a small area or they was so good no one's talking about them and want to keep the secret....lol...so I keep digging for pics...Quote:

When I get them the way I like them, pics will be in order I'm sure...lol. This makes the second one I have been contacted on matching in the past few weeks. All the old time tiers are fading out...so old school tiers try and pick up the slack where they can..
