Is there like some sort of starter kit that I can buy to make my own jigs? Its looks like it would be really cool to do but I don't know where to start. Thanks

I got the starter kit at BPS (vice, bobbin, scissors, threader) for $30.00 and then just bought the materials that I wanted.
Word of warning - if you are doing it to save some money, you won't!!!! I bet I have close to $200.00 in it so far. But it is a lot of fun. I can also tie hundreds of jigs with what I got so far.
Will be buying a better vice someday soon.

At one time Crazyangler had a starter kit with vise, bobbin, jig heads, feathers and really everything you'd need to tie some jigs. but I really don't know if he still has that kit for sale.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A SUPER STARTER DEAL CAN'T BE BEAT YOU GET IN THIS KIT THE AA VISE A STANDARD FLARED BOBBIN,SICCORS,2 COLORS OF THREAD,2 COLORS OF MARABOU AND 2 COLORS OF OUR NEWAGE CHENILLE JUST LIST THE COLORS OF ITEMS YOU WANT IN THE COMMENT SECTION WHEN YOU ORDER ALSO LIST HEAD SIZR 1/8 OR 1/16 ! SIMPLE When I got mine, I added a whip finisher and asked him to swap 2 colors of hackle for the 2 colors of marabou.

Go with Crazy Angler! Robert is great and ships fast! Get the whip finisher you won't regret it. As far as material I would suggest some of the new 1/32 oz hd walleye heads, they are awesome. I like hackle better than maribou- it's easier for me to work with. Some call it cheating, but I use clear mono verses colored thread because it goes with everything- less stuff to have to change when tying. Good luck. Oh and it doesn't save money, but you can make the colored jigs you want right then.

I have a peak vise coming do they have a starter kit without the vice? Thanks Just build your own kit. Order 2 colors of 210Denier Thread, 1 or 2 bobbin's, 2 colors of a Hackle or Marabou, a pair of scissors, a whip finisher, 2 colors of chenille & a hank of Krystal Flash. Also order some Pro Ball jigheads in 1/16oz & 1/8oz. This list should run you around $35-$40 but you'll be set for tying a bunch of jigs. Next, get ready to dive off into Powder Painting!
