Tying is habit forming. Need to fish more or maybe hand them out at the ramp. Lol.

That is a lot of tying
Catfish you got it good too. Nice piece of work there. Nice thought you had about handing the out. I try to keep a few bags of stuff in my truck so when at the ramp I see a family bank fishing near the ramp I'll walk down to the parents and ask them if I can give the kids some jigs. Heck we are both happy when I leave.
Nice!
It sure is. Like cat said maybe some giveaways would help to keep the inventory manageable.:Rofl Nice looking ties, and I bet cat wouldn’t lack for takers.Quote:

This helps quiet my mind. Alot bouncing around up there.:dono
I used to take my vice to work sometimes and tie during lunch breaks. Usually noisy then but all of a sudden I realized you could hear a pin drop. I looked up and everyone in the break room was watching me tie jigs. Great memories.
I’ve thought about taking my stuff to work for lunch break but have a feeling somethings might walk off. I’d rather not deal with any of that so instead I try to just rest in my truck…..zzzzzz

Nice lookin stuff there catfish. Olive heads and dark rubber legs on #8 jigs work well for the gills.
Hi. In the second photo bottom row, if you don't mind me asking, what did you use for tail materials. Those are the colors that my wife and I tore them up on the last 2 years. It is more fun to tie them than buy rubber tails. I also understand if it is a trade secret. Oh by the way, really good lookin batch of jigs you got going on there.
The ones on the right are hair with a little feather mixed in. The left tan ones are a bag of feathers i got from Hobby Lobby.
I thought the tan on the left were feathers, but I wasn't sure. Wife loves Hobby Lobby I'll have to check them out. Thanks for the info.
Another good place for feathers is Woods and Water Outdoors. Patrick (Fridays86) dyes his own feathers and has colors you won’t find elsewhere.

Just open the box and tell them to pick two. The first word out of there mouth is usually “Really?”
Nice work there.
