Here’s what I have been working on lately. Added another layer of color to the jig. I don't know if they will catch fish yet but I'm getting them wet on Friday. Let me know what you think.

If those don't catch 'em-nothing will! Good looking jigs there. Are you selling any? I'd be interested in a few.

Shoot no. I don't know how the jig tyers make money off of selling these. I mean after the cost of the materials and the amount of time it takes to tie these things up. I think I would be better off working at the McDonalds. They sure are fun to tie though.

They r getting good Tom
Maurice and I have been tying multiple color tail and they work really well if the combo is correct. However it is very time consuming add on to what a very time consuming process.
Great job, and I'm glad you are enjoying it...

Lots of people mistaken that I make good money tying jigs... Hahahah
I've been doing this for 15yrs and haven't quit my daytime job yet!!!
That is also why we don't see many jig tiers sell their creation. Only a jig tier would truly understand.
To be honest with y'all, if I make enough to support my gas for my fishing habbit so that my wife doesn't complain about our finance, then I'm a successful jig tier! Sincerely!

Make money tying jigs? When, where and how, LOL! Not going to happen as all my money goes right back into materials and usually some new stuff to make new jigs. LOL if I needed this to pay for anything it would be better to not do it at all.

The only thing I have done with any money is build a good supply of tying materials, LOL!

Had a guy not long ago ask how much for a pretty nice order and I told him. He didn't reply back so I ask him if he got the email. He said yes and that he thought if he bought that many jigs (like 50) he would get a discount, LOL! I explained that I sell them as cheap as I am interested in.
