They may be a little over the top flash wise, but they sure we're fun to make! Got a box, absolutely jam packed full of great stuff from jungle Jim today. Hope they snag me some big ol walleyes next week!

After seeing Jim's beauties, I almost didn't want to post mine. I had a few free minutes and decided to give it a go, this is what came out of it.. I used a jig with a collar which I think was a problem, shape wise anyway. Don't think I used a long enough hackle feather either. And when I...

Was just watching this video and he turns out a really nice jig! Is this the proper way to tie marabou?

Since I'm uber new, could there be a sticky made about all the different materials, their uses, and which species of fish you use each for? It seems like most materials are pretty versatile and can be used for any species. But since you guys know waaaay more than I do, help? :-)

I tied a really nice looking jig this evening and after I was done, realized that I had tied the jig upside down!! I wanted white for the belly and red for the top! D'oh! I mean, I'll try it,.. But wished I had tied it the right way. Also when you tie jigs and find they don't really catch fish...

Here's a pic of my master angler Chanel cat I caught this summer. 38 1/2" And this 29" walleye, not caught by me, but these are the size of fish were pulling through the ice up here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just wondering what everyone uses for jig heads when tying their jigs? Homemade? Store bought? Collar? No collar? I think I'd like to get some jig heads that have no collar. Seems like you have more room on em when creating a jig. Only ones I can find around here have the collar with bait...

I really want to tie jigs with collars like these? What materials and tools do I need? And how is it done? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's my first jig, tied on my homemade vice. It was so much easier having both hands free. Are the proportions correct?

1.) what do you all do with the leftovers from Maribou feathers? It seems like there'd be enough to do more jigs but the feather is cut straight and doesn't have as nice a flow to it. 2.) I want to do up a bunch of different trout jigs for this weekend. Going out on the ice Sunday. Probly fish...

Do we have to use photo bucket for pictures? Or am I missing something? I've tried to post a pic but "the file size is too large"

I'm kind of at a loss as to where to post all my questions, as they are pretty general. So, here goes. I would think that the point of tying a jig is that you are not using other bait, worms, minnows, etc, correct? Can you fish solely with tyed jigs? As I'm new to fishing in general, I think...

Hey everyone, Just got interested in tying my own jigs and have a ton of questions. Happy to be here, been lurking all day and there's so much good info here! Derek Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
