I'm contemplating making jigs, flies, and rods as a way to supplement my income. I'm wondering, does anyone here do this as a full time job? If so, how did it come about? How much R&D did you put in before you actually started to sell? I have previously owned and operated a clothing company...

Crawler harnesses with minnows and crawlers, 4 guys had our limits by noon! Fished till 5 and it was so good all day. Felt bad for everyone else we met who only caught a few all day.

I decided to try my hand at scuds tonight. Seemed easy enough, until I tried fastening the scud back. It drove me crazy! Is there something that I'm missing? It just slips all over the place when trying to lash it down in the front.

Here's my first dry fly I've ever made. It's our national bird!

When tying these, is it imperative that you use cross cut zonker for the body? I've read articles and watched videos and there's definitely no set in stone way to tie these, but just wondering if cross cut is that much better than regular. Thanks

Did these today. Hopefully they hammer some rock bass in another month or so.

Went to my local shop today to grab grizzly hackle for Mosquitos, and half a cape is $42!

With the insane amount of hook styles, sizes, and brands. Are there any that are a standard? It seems most people probably have their own preferences as well.

Went fishing for perch yesterday, and threw all my newly made jigs at them, only to be rejected. A good ol jig head and a minnow were the ticket. I got to wondering a few things. Was it just the wrong kind of jigs? Why bother tying jigs of you just end up tipping them with real bait? I...

This may be a dumb question, but since I don't know, I'll ask. Can you use flys on a spinning rod? There are so many cool flys I'd like to try but I'm not a fly fisherman. And seeing the flys that have lead wrapped in them got me thinking, "Are they heavy enough to use on a spinning rod?"

Turned these out on the new vise. Buyers remorse is dwindling quickly. Goin perch fishin tomorrow

I just dropped $260 (Canadian) On a peak rotary with a bunch of accessories. I haven't even tried it, but I already have buyers remorse a little bit. I haven't really been tying lately due to frustration with my current setup. A pair of Vise grips on a table clamp. I'm thinking that a real...

I've been looking at buying an air compressor and a nail gun for small jobs around the house. My girlfriend is very crafty, and we are going to be reupholstering the couch, and she has a bunch of Pinterest projects that she wants us to do. What's a good size compressor to buy? Right now I can...

I'm curious as to what type of rig people are using when casting these teeny tiny jigs. I would assume, an ultra light rod with light test line, and split shots or a casting bubble or are you using fly rods at that point?

Looking at the picture now, I feel I could've used a lot more material. Thoughts?

Plans have changed for this weekend and I am now going pike fishing. I've never actually targeted pike before so I'm not sure what to tie. Did a little search on Google and it seems like zonker streamers are the go to. Anyone have info on materials, patterns, jig head weight? Thanks, Derek

I've been using 3/0 uni thread for tying, and I'm not really very happy with it. It frays really easy and it's not very strong. What should I switch to?

I'm gonna be going out for crappie next weekend and then blue gill the weekend after, so I thought I'd tie these up. Used uv dubbing on the chart, and black/red.

Been thinking about bug jigs lately. Obviously there are a lot of fly jigs, but what about bee, grasshopper or cricket jigs? Seen a couple bee type jigs, but never grasshopper, or cricket..

How to you get the half and half look like this?
