Hello jigcraft members. I am new to posting on the forum, but i have been browsing for about 2 weeks. I am looking to get into jig tying, and currently my bass pro shops cart has 100 items and over 400 dollars in it. this includes all colors of protec powder paint, marabou, craft fur, some sili legs, a bobbin, scissors, chenille, etc. Hopefully by christmas i will be able to afford everything.

Holy shmolly geezums… $400?!
Might wanna play with some pieces first bf you drop all that$$$ and see if you like it first. Regardless, welcome from Southeast LA.

haha, i know i like it. i have done it before, and i might consider selling some of the stuff i tie. it is a good hobby, and can make you some money. it is better than video games any day. plus nothing is more rewarding than catching a fish on your own lure.
BTW i am 15

hello from wisconsin! and yes, making lures will definitely cut into video game time. my guild on world of warcraft despise it.... lol

 

[Lost Pole]

Awesome. Maybe you can talk mine away from call of duty

 

[toadfrog]

Welcome young man . If you hang out here you will be tying as good as an old man in no time . Whats a video game ? OH yea that's Pac Man and Space Invaders ain't it .

 

[PanfishHunter]

I don't play WoW, but i have heard its good. i am not into that kind of game, plus i dont have a good enough pc xD

Haha, well i cut my order in half. now its only 215 dollars. i realized i didnt need 5 packs each of 12 jigs in 5 assorted sizes, or pearl chenille, or variegated chenille, or every single color powder paint. Sorry cant help you with the COD problem. I hae an idea though. dont buy him any more new ones, because they are all exactly the same besides a few tweaks to the maps!

Haha toad! yeah i hope to be tying as good as some of the legends on here!

Welcome from west Texas PH and welcome to the addiction. JAT when ya get ready to expand, contact crazy angler he might save you some dollars. Lookin forward to seeing some of your jigs....... and ketch. :icon14:

 

[Bucko]

Might wanna check out somewhere like barlows, crazy angler, janns netcraft, or even ebay and check their prices. I found if you look hard enough on ebay most things are cheaper there. Not all, but most.

 

[PanfishHunter]

thanks guys. i do like dealing with bass pro shops. next time though, since i have everything in the cart, i dont want to go through and pick out the items again, i will look at crazy angler.

[AtticaFish]

Welcome from NW Ohio! Glad to have someone on here younger than me........ some of these geezers get cranky. Good bunch here.

 

[AtticaFish]

Bluegill......... ultimate color combo around here for the gills is orange/black!

 

[PanfishHunter]

i havent caught a bluegill on a artificial, but i know that everywhere a go to is black with chart. tail. I have been admiring some of your work attica, everyone on here has excellent jigs!

Welcome from the other side of Tx....

You'll find some great info here,and just ask away if you need some help !

 

[PanfishHunter]

thank ya rad. So far everyone has been extremly nice and helpful! Got my order down to $260 on BPS and i have 30 dollars so far on lurepartsonline.

I'd suggest tj's tackle for powder paint (if that is what you're going with) as they are cheaper than bass pro, and the container is bigger (in size not how much you get). If you opt for powder, be sure to get a fluid bed.

welll, as i am already having to order from 2 different places, since BPS doesnt have the reptile rubber legs. i wouldnt want to order from 3 places. i will look and see about powder paint on lurepartsonline.
