I saw a post from JUNGLEJIMJIGS...I'm glad he found the site. I have been looking at his jigs on EBay for several years and have gotten (stolen) some great ideas from his jigs. I emailed him one time from EBay, explained that I tied jigs for myself and didn't sell any and wanted to ask him a question or two. He was quick to respond and was very helpful. He makes a crappie jig from duck feathers that is truly a piece of art.
Glad to have you, Jungle.....you are most welcome here.
I have bought quiet a few of his jigs on ebay, He has real good jigs
Thanks For The Welcome To Crappie. This Site Is Addictive.in The Last Few Days I've Spent More Time Here Than I Have Tying.i've Been Looking Around And There Are Some Very Good Tyers Here As Well As Crappie Fishermen. I'm Going To Learn A Lot From Here.

I'm new here also, great site, and it does cut in to your tying time......
Have seen your work before and hope to see more posted up here.
I keep getting more ideas to change what I tie. So many I haven't had a chance to try them all.
Welcome and enjoy. I will have to check your jigs out on Ebay.
If I Can Get Some Instruction On How To Download Pictures Onto Crappie I'd Be Happy To Show Some Of My Creations.another Way Would Be To Send Me Your Email Address.i'd Also Love To Get In On Some Of Those Jig Swaps.any Help Is Always Appreciated.thanks For The Welcome.i Feel I've Found A Home.
If you have ever used photobucket.com or photolocker.net you can upload your images there and then simply place a link, (img) code in the posts. This is what I have used for a long time. Gives you complete control of the pictures and the size limits are not important.
If you don't use them then when you click on reply, not quick reply, you can click on manage attatchments. Once the window comes up you can see the file size for file types that can be uploaded. Resize so they fit and then uplaod them.
THANKS FISH FOR ALL,I'LL CHECK INTO IT AND TRY IT TOMMORROW.WISH ME LUCK.ANOTHER WAY WOULD BE TO SEND ME AN EMAIL AT [email protected] I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SOME DUCK JIGS THIS WEEK AND WANT TO SHOW A FEW FOR SOME INPUT.
Oh great more influence to make my mind wonder off on new stuff and that may mean more materials?? I hope not since I got a lot of duck feathers.Quote:

It is probably going to add something and my wife is , well kind of fed up at my spending so much on materials and then I had to go and buy that Hummingbird 1197 last month and lets say she's not a happy camper, LOL!

I've never tied jigs from duck feathers. One of things that impressed me about Jungle's jigs were the profile. It's very close to the profile of a minnow. Very realistic looking.
"I agree "Jungle Jim"Your one of a kind buddy!"So r your jigs"!Quote:
