I agree to have a picture archive. Might could use a sticky on the jig forum.Here is a good picture site and a neat video.

I think it would be nice to have a forum/gallery/whatever that is solely dedicated to pictures of jigs. A gallery of pictures would give newbies a place to look and get ideas for tying jigs and also give everyone a place to find that next great pattern.
I have been looking for patterns for weeks now and I finally came across one I think I like. I think pictures of the jigs other make and the ones they use will save time and also help us become better tyers as well as get these patterns out there and tested in more places.
I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

I dont have any photos available, but I tell you what, I went from simple, to more elaborate and back to simple....I find most of my fish come from a simple pop-eye style jig. Choose your body. Marabou flows and flutters in the water like no other.....while I like kiptail for durability........although mine generally dont last long enough to worry about the marabou rotting lol
I am talking a more basic thing, just a simple picture thumbnail gallery. Just to see the different patterns and designs of members. I dont mind instructions but seeing patterns is what gives me ideas.

Hello
I floated the ideal a while back. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-t...-showroom.html
It would be nice, if it was just a showroom, with the pic of the jig, name of jig, who tied it, and what materials were used (kinda like a recipe book). It would be a AWESOME resource for newbies tyers like myself.
Keep in mind there is a limit to how much space you can download or upload to this site and once that is reached you have to go find the old stuff and delete it to do more. Not only that, but I wouldn't post pics there anyway since I have them on my web site and I already spend enough time messing with pictures.
Not against it, but not sure how many would want to do that and then you may have to ask Ed for more room on his servers?
One more thing we already have the jig tying board which is not all that old.

Was just a thought. Maybe when we have a bunch of pictures someone can put them in a collage and post a link from photolocker or whatever so save server space. That doesn't use up server space does it?

I was lookin' thru my jig pictures but all my jigs seem to have big slabs hanging on the end of 'em! Just kiddin' around. I think that would be a cool idea!
CATCH A BIG-UN
A sampling of my jigs, I personally use, is on my webpage and individuals frequently post "What do you think...." pictures on the jig tying board as Skip said. There is also the jig swamp on that board also.
