Tying is so superior to banding for bass jigs…you can really consider things and layer your colors thoughtfully. I have a bluegill pattern that’s certainly not *impossible* using bands but it’s much much easier to tie. Not only that but you can build in your desired level of durability. I like to add a coat of waterthin CA on my initial jam knot wraps to anchor them down, tie, then hit the outside with a coat of CA or UV resin. I trust that a lot more than a small rubber band…especially as time goes on. It doesn’t crumble like rubber (especially the cheap stuff). The only tricky bit is whip finishing. It’s about as difficult to whip finish a bass jig as it is to whip finish a parachute adams. Sometimes I’ll just use a bunch of half hitches then resin.
Great video! Well done sir. Have any thoughts on wire versus thread? I'm going to start using some living rubber with my silicone. I think the wire will work better. I would like your opinion.
Do you really want me too tie the puffball jig correctlly Because im the guy that invented it. I can show you how to tie one in three minutes including being trimed. But i can go step be step and show you in 5 minute.
This is really cool, I'm thinking about trying to get set up to tie jigs so im not contantly dropping 20 bucks everytime I head to the gander outdoor store
