Jig Tying Tools - Advice Needed - 02/06/20 11:29 PM
I would like to begin tying my own crappie jigs and want to get my tools ordered. I'm not wanting to go crazy on budget, but i am a buy once, cry once kind of person, and don't mind paying a bit more to avoid replacing or upgrading in a few months.
I've watched some videos on line and see some different suggestions, but would love to have perhaps a list of items that I should get from the tool side of things. Actual jig materials are pretty easy to figure out, so I'm mainly looking to ask what would be the most used, beneficial, and can't/don't want to live without tools with a tool budget of about $150.00.
A little more info:
1. no dedicated area for fly tying yet, so I'd like to be able to pretty easily break down and store everything after a tying session to keep out of the way of other household activities
2. Wanting to tie mainly crappie/bass jigs
3. Wondering if starter kits are any good or is it better to buy separately
4. Amazon vs. BassPro?
Thanks for any and all advice.
