  I haven't posted anything in a while so I sat down to make another tying video. Jay

While searching the web for old ice jigs I found a jig that I recognized from my dads old box (1970s) a grub pattern he taught me how to tie.  What I had found was a jig - Simcoe Bug.  I was taught (and had been tying for years) to tie these with acetate floss and over the years had found good...

I have 33 lbs of round head jigs with collar in sizes 1/16, 3/8, 1/2.  All have mustad hooks and are painted with epoxy. Colors are mainly black, brown, yellow, red, white though there are some sizes with green, blue, purple. $70 includes 2 day priority mail in the US Total amount of jigs is...

I've been fishing a lake in Central NY that is well known for crappie and tiger musky, it also has a healthy population of chain pikerel. With that in mind for swap 42 let's tie our favorite go-to pattern for one of the species mentioned above. I realize these species are quite different so the...

Im looking  for a 25-50 or so #6, 8, 10 hook, unpainted Ant Jigs.  Hagens & Janns catalogs show an ant and a custom ant styles.  PM me if you have some to sell, I would even be interested in a mold (but not so important)

Tying up some Ice Lice and Hackle Droppers for my winter customers.  We fish these on a double dropper set up or with a dropper 6" - 8" above a jigs for perch through the ice, they work great for most panfish.

I had a request for an old video with a jig that had a hackle collar.  I had two; both are ice jigs here in central NY state.  The redtail is also a great summertime panfish jig,  the pro-footall is populare with FL crappie fishermen who fish through lillypads (like we do on the ice) - here are...

If you have 15 minutes to waste I have uploaded a video on the upgrades and maintenance I do for my Universal II Vise.

Any ideas on how to disassemble a universal vise (3?) the style where the angle of the jaws can be adjusted?

I got a bunch of these unpainted as extras for hosting a recent jig swap.  I tied up some for a friends father who is raving about how much he like them.  I can tie my 1/16 with a standard straight shank hook with 90deg bend but matching what i tied would be great. What are they, do they come...

Finishing up on some spring time jig orders

I was asked to kick off swap #36 and I always try to think of something a little different.  So, for this swap lets try tying something that is fly inspired much like the old classic jigs from the 60's with their bucktail and feather combos.  These could also be a color or pattern that is...

I am now unable to upload photos (even after re-sizing) ????

I completed a video in three parts, first looking at some old streamers from the 70's and the show the steps in tying a simple bucktail streamer. Part I Part II

Here I tie a 1/60 Red Tail ice jig which is based on a typical chenille body crappie jig. I have always had great success with this pattern through the ice for all types of pan fish and perch. Enjoy

How to tie a sand pike pattern jig with some comments on the design of the Barumba Head jig. Enjoy

Just a heads-up for all swap participants. When preparing your return envelope: 1: Be sure postage is enough. My thought is one extra stamp costs very little compared to not receiving your package. 2: Metered Postage is only good for 30 days. If you get your package in early and others hold...

There was a small turnout for this swap but I must say perhaps one of the best swaps in overall skill & quality. I will get everyone's packs out later in the week. I have included a couple extra from me - Thanks to all who participated, also for the extras.

A simple but very effective jig for ice fishing. I have some guys from Florida that use this jig through holes in lily pads to pull big slab crappie. Enjoy
