Hi,
I'm fairly new to tying crappie hair jigs. I have most of what I need but am looking for other sources to purchase materials through. In the past I've used Barlow's Tackle and Nimrods Tackle on Ebay. Nimrods does quite a bit of sourcing which results in more shipping fees.
I'm in need of a source for various size eyes, chinelle and feathers.
This is a hobby for me, I'm not interested in selling them. I'll end up giving away more than I keep for myself.
I get jig heads from Simply Crappie.
Most of the other stuff can be found on Amazon.
Another place is Caddis Fly Shop. Good prices, fast shipping, and a good selection of material.
Woods and Water outdoors is my go to place for chenille and feathers. Good prices and everything I have ever got from them is excellent quality.

Hopefully, one of the moderators will spin them upright. Thank you Moderators in advance.
FEEL-N-CRAPPIE, Hope this helps you as well as others out. Like I said, there are a lot more out there, I just don't have them. Good luck on your search. Be sure to post up your creations...
90% of my materials come from Nimrods, Barlows and Woods & Water. I use to really like Barlows because it was 5 minutes from my job. They went mail order only due to Covid and they never opened their doors again. I hate paying for shipping when they are right their. I love Woods & Water but I have a lifetime supply of most items and his minimum $10 shipping cost means I need to spend at least $50 to make it worth it. I no longer place large orders because I am already overstocked.
One that I didn't see listed is Crazy Angler Tackle. I've been buying from him since 2009 and very happy with his products. Definitely worth a look. Just placed an order with him this week, I was out of Texas Toast chenille which is the bomb of chenille's, best stuff I've ever used. When I went to check out I found out it was on sale ,50% off so I ordered more. I don't tie as much as I used to but still ordered a skein of it. Great prices as well.
Thank you JIM, don't know why I didn't have him on there, as I have bought from him myself. HE is now for sure. As I said, IT's not a complete list, but am working on it.
Haven"t seen anyone mention Zucker Feather co. They have everything feather
I use the Flyartist.com A lot.
Nimrod on eBay
Fishusa.com mainly for Wapsi rooster saddle hackle

Wow, thank you so much. I didn't expect to get so many to choose from.
Thank you for your service. I was US Army Military Police for six years. 76/81.
I spoke to Crazy Anglers the other day. They said they are downsizing.
I placed an order with them yesterday. Thanks again.

I buy all my feathers from Woods and Waters. He dyes all his feathers and best I’ve found. If you want to tie with just tips get saddle hackle. If you plan on using v cuts get neck hackle. I don’t use or like marabou but many do. It’s probably the easiest to work with and hard to mess up.
Most my chenille I buy from woods and waters or Moose Tackle. I’ll pick up some chenille from Nimrod, Barlows or wherever.
I make all my own jigs. Most all my eyes come for from lifefly-outdoors on eBay but will pick up random ones other places if they catch my eye. All eyes are glues on with BSI 2 part 30 minute epoxy.
Paints I started with Pro-Tec but have slowly started switching over to prismatic or Columbia and buying by the lb. Pro-Tec is expensive and limited in colors compared to these other two companies.
Thread I use Danville 210 fly master plus or Ultra 210.
Vise I’m currently using a Peak but thinking of getting a Stonfo.
