Supplies needed for jig tying? - 06/22/13 06:16 AM

Hi, I would like to get into tying my own jigs. What all supplies would I need? I would like to get a hotpot and jighead molds to make my own jigs. What other supplies are needed? Does anyone have/Know where i could pickup a hotpot and molds? If anyone has an extra one that will work, give me a price. Anyone have any tips for a new jig tier?

Welcome! I hope you are ready to become addicted. The "Trading Post" section is a good place to start. There have been a couple of posts lately of people selling their supplies. Also, Craigslist.
Several videos and tutorials on the net.

JB, go to CrazyAnglerTackle.com and get a starter kit. Talk to Robert (Crazy Angler) and tell him what all you would like to do & he'll fix you up with everything he can put his hands on. Great products, Great service, Great Guy!

I will get ahold of Robrert. Just got into crappie fishing last year, converted over from bass. Already love the slab bandits and crawlers from crazy angler. Just getting into tying.
