It’s cloudy , fifty three degrees, wind 8-14 with gusts to 31 mph , and a slight chance of a shower.
For me that’s tying weather .
Been at the bench this morning tying u some micro jigs .
Some on size 12 sickle hook jig hooks , on size 12 streamer hooks , on size 10 Mustad Ultrapoint jig hooks .
Mostly in natural colors , blacks and olives .
Like this one .
Very nice. Tiny jigs. Holding in your hand helps show the scale better.
That sure is small!
Great looking tie
Thanks Dave , Didn’t notice it until posted the pic on here , but this is first time in a picture my line actually looks two pound test .Quote:

Lol, You’re probably cropped in tighter in pic which would make it look larger.
I really like the micro jigs folks are tying. I’ll have to add some to my arsenal next spring.
A box of full of fun !
Just add water and shake ( twitch) :)
Ready for tomorrow’s weekly meet up fishing trip !
Very nice panfish box of jig. :highfive
That’s a nice box of jigs! I know how well they work. Now getting used to casting them is another story. So much fun to catch a good sized fish on a jig so small.
Do you use any different of a technique wrapping your chenille as opposed to a larger jig? I'm just getting into tying little guys and I've only been using thread. It seems like it would be tricky to get chenille in there... but this makes me want to give it a shot.
I feel for you guys in the cold. It was 85 here today. But if it's any consolation....there are no crappies here in St. Lucia. But I can buy fresh Dolphin, Tuna or Red Snapper for about $4.50 a pound off the boats...so it's not too bad.

Can’t get any fresher than that
I tie my chenille in behind the head and wrap thread over it to the rear where the tail is tied in , the wrap line forward to where I tied it in .Quote:

My micro jigs are probably the simplest jig or fly I’ve ever tied .
The micro woolybooger used to be my favorite, until I realized it worked just as good without the palmered hackle . Casts easier too with the hackle catching air .
Two more boxes finished up this morning.
Size 8 hooks , 4.65mm Tungsten beads on left
Size 10 hooks , 4mm Tungsten beads on right .
Just add water :)
Edit : just ordered 700 more Mustad Ultrapoint jighooks this morning.
Very nice. Those all look like winners. Good job.
Nice looking box of jigs!
Tying is such a great winter hobby. It helps keep your thoughts on fishing.
