Ken..there are alot of kits..here's a link to BPS's.. http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catal...=SearchResults
Now, i simply bought a box that has a vise, scissors, etc. for $20 at BPS, a couple colors of 'hair' and tread. The jig heads themselves i buy on eBay...they seem cheaper. I got 100 3/16 oz. painted and delivered for about $10.00..so i thought that was the easiest and cheapest way for me.
This link will show you the basics...even though it uses a treble hook..you'll get the general idea.... http://www.luremaking.com/howto/bucktail1.htm#bed
The www has tons on 'tying bucktail jigs'...just do some homework and i'm sure it'll all come together for you.
It's very rewarding to catch a limit of slabs on your own jig...and damn relaxing in the process too.
Hope this helps alittle to get you started.
