Hi everyone - I am looking to get into jig tying for personal use (not to sell). I am wondering if anyone has any good resources to share on where I might be able to get some of the tying materials.
Stuff like the chenille, thread, heckle, maribou, etc.
I am sure I will have more questions as I dive deeper in!
Thank you for your help!
Contact skiptomylu on here. He will get you set up.
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your first post. There are many places one could source materials. There is a sticky at the top of the jig tying forum. Below are only a few places.
Skiptomylu here on cdc (send PM)
Woods and Water Outdoors online (Fridays86 here on cdc)
Nimrods Tackle online
Crazy Angler online
JS Fly Fishing online
Limits Tackle online
Ksnouf here has great materials also.
Thank you fellas, I will check those places out!
Another random question - how many jigs can you expect to get out of one of the bunch of Hackle Feathers? Example like the 4-6" Custom Neck Hackle from Woods & Water for $6.95.
The way I tie I use one hackle feather usually per jig. Tip and 3 V’s so I can tie hundreds maybe per pack???

I hate feathers,, stuff gets to me when it starts to fly around, so I use either foxtail, or rubber bass skirts or synthetic type materials ..
Skiptomylu is the best on cdc in my opinion! Good luck tying!
I will suggest Woods and Water for materials also. He has everything you need and ships the same day.
Hi! I use spawn fly fish for materials. Also ramble ramble tackle for heads.

All good info so far. If you need jigheads you need to give Jamie over at simply crappie a look. I use his for what I dont pour and his are cleaner than mine.
