Anyone ever try it? I had to cover a lot of shifts at work during the holidays shutdown and watched a lot of YouTube. One day I fell down the rabbit hole of fly tying and next thing you know I’ve ordered all the stuff!
Here’s the eBay seller I bought my jig and tool kit from;

The feathers and other stuff I got from Temu but it’s not the best quality so I need to find a supplier for that. I tied my first jigs last night and I have a long way to go to get them to where I want them.

My first attempt;

Fun hobby for sure.

Tying is on my list of things to learn once things slow down some day . Good luck with them

Three gills and a crappie. I’m gonna have to put an asterisk beside these though because they all came off a jig tipped with a meal worm.

Looks good. Hope you fixed them for dinner.

Good job!

Finally caught a fish on one of my jigs without it being tipped with live bait!

Was shooting a review video for a kayak cooler and was trolling with my pedal kayak and caught a bass. It will be in the video I'm uploading this week.

I can’t believe it but that ugly jig I tied with the hair from Gail’s dog has been the hot bait this spring! 😂
Her friend caught a crappie a while back and then Gail caught most of hers on it yesterday. It’s about wore out and she’s requesting more.
