jig tying materials

I am interested in getting into tying jigs. I need some help on materials I need. I want to tie marabou jigs for crappie. What types of materials do I need and where do you get your materials from? What are the must haves and maybe do not need items. I know a vice and a bobbin but what kind of marabou, chenille, and flash, and what other items?

Skiptomylou has a huge supply of everything you might need with a vast wealth of information to share.

You need a tester! (Lol) for everyone you tie ! You got to make another one like it and I’ll test it for ya! Skip gave me some real good advise ! You welcome to use my vise and stuff ( nothing fancy) if u want to give it a try before you buy! It gets addictive in a hurry!

Many options and folks to help with the materials. If you can get into a bps or a shop like that and actually see what you’re asking about it will shorten the learning curve. And a vise, there are just as many options. What I will say is that it’s a tool. Better money gets a better tool. Should you decide to sell later you will get a better return on a better tool. Handle before you buy. Many that have the same features are nothing close to the item that was copied. Peak, Renzetti, anvil, and several others just to name a few. I prefer a rotating vise, makes life just that much easier. Welcome to the addiction.
