Seems too simple to hold but I'd like to try. Will keep a weekly log of water fastness for those interested. Adam

Two that I've been having good success with that I decided to make permanent in the box. Colors don't show right Bc of poor lighting and bad camera work. I'm not much on photography. Nothing fancy but they're working. Gotta pick up some good pointy scissors so I can shape the bodies...

7/15/11 with the Pistol Rough work day followed by the ultimate pleasure of getting off work to a son wanting to go fish. Loaded the small paddle flat in the back of the truck and away we went.  More work. Dragged boat up 12' of sand, down, down n up another 6' of sand and away we we went. ...

The Heat are going down!!!! Playing with powder paint:

Gone fishin tomorrow so hit the table n tied up my norms but did crank out a couple something diff to try. Never tried purple. Couldn't get the paint to photo right. It's a deep purple with green glitter and green chart with blue glitter. Very sparkly and glamourous. Wish I had it in high school...

Got a chance to sit for first time yesterday. Adam

I've never really tied any jigs with hackle tails. Usually just marabou, buck or squirrel. Tried to look at some pics and read a bit. More concerned as to which way they should lay. I know how the Vs are cut just not sure how they're used. Seems to me, appearance wise anyways, that they look...

Looking through jigs to go fishing with my son today who prefers to fish minners. He said " none of these look like fish, they look like candy". So I told him to pick out his colors and we'd make his together. Not good with pictures and only have iPhone cam. Painting was fun. A peachish...

Strength-wise? I'm really doubting the strength of sickles in brush. Used to, if I got snagged up real good, more or less I'd straighten 'em out with a straight line tug with the power pro, but the sickles just break soo easy I'm afraid to do anything. Even had one break on a fish. I've...

Can you reheat and powder a jig head after it has sat, cooled and hardened a day? They haven't been cured. My painting sux and starting to irk me a liiiiiiil bit. ThX for any help. Adam

FINALLY about to order some paint so that I can make some jigs I want. Looked at TJ's and Crazy's place. Big price differences. Are Crazy's jars 2 oz.? I may pick up a couple extra colors for experimentation, but I really only use 4 or 5 diff. color heads fishing and since I'm just tying for...

I remember reading somewhere, sometime back, that pp can be ruined by humidity. I'm wondering if thats my problem and would like to try the oven technique. Anybody have any info on temps and baking times? This is my last resort bf I start stepping towards just purchasing a fluid bed I know...

ThXgiving allowed some free time, so I used it...although I'd've rather been fishing. These are, of the few, that I'd show anyone and thought I'd share with yall. I have a fresh bucktail in the backyard drying out right now and believe I will do it in the brightest orange I can find. Adam

Been playing with tying for almost 2 months now. Not very good but do know they can catch fish which is all I worry about. Haven't had colors I like so I dyed some with Rit. Did some squirrel, some bou, buck, and hackle...........all blue. Some road kill, some farm donations and some hunting...
