Thought I would pass this on incase someone else likes the idea. Most of the time when putting hair or flashabou for an all flashabou jig, I put on too long of pieces and need to trim the jig shorter. What I have been using is hair thinning shears. Bought them at Walmart for 9.95. They shorten...

I tried making a two tone jig, red and white. Everything went well until I colored the top portion of the chenille red and it bled thru to the bottom leaving no or very little white chenille showing.

I have alot of molds by most standards. For ball head jigs I have both barb and ball collars, but; no plain collars. I cut off the collars when I want a jig without a collar. I never get an exact 1/32 or 1/16 ounce jig, but pretty close. Does anyone think this matters. I have been debating if I...
