They do for sure.. I have caught pike, walleye and bass on them.. pretty much everything eats them even the ones you don’t want to eat it at times 🤦🏻♂️
Wife gets mad at me every time I stop and collect squirrel tails along the road..she does not seem to understand the money saved, the quality of the jigs I make...
Thanks for sharing JIm. Looks like the '24 season is early this year. My Lilacs bloomed last week. Caught some really nice bluegill and sunnies in Van Buren Co. on May 4.
Yes, I use flashing on many and probably a great majority of the jigs I tie and sell. However there are times when fish don’t want all the flashing. I did years of testing with that and it’s really dependent on how my flash the body may have in it already.
@@TheChadcooley I get mine at a local fly shop it is a harline product I believe. I’m on the road right now but I’ll check when I get home next week and get you an exact place for it
Nice Hook Vise you have. I like how it turns. The Vise that I have may not turn like yours does. I haven't even looked at it in Decades since I haven't Fly Fished in Decades. Your video is encouraging me to tie Crappie Jigs. So I need to find my Fly Tying Box and give it a try. Thanks for the video.
It’s defiantly addicting as you know if you have tied flys.. the vise I’m using in this video is a Nor-Vise. They are pricey for sure. I also have a Renzetti rotary vise which a a bit more affordable. Thank you so much for watching.
I like your work can you tell me with the heat gun what temperature do you set it mine has a digital read out also can you tell me what is your curing process temperature and such thanks for sharing I am new here and I'm a fan thanks
I need to tie some of these hackle jigs without the chenille. Most of my Crappie jigs are saddle hackle with chenille collars.. I don’t know why I don’t tie some like this without. I will do that today. Great looking jig
