I just hate losing the jigs. I kayak-fished for trout in the Chattahoochee River below Buford Dam Sat morning, using little Rapalas and Trout Magnets, and caught several nice stocker rainbows and a brown or two, but boy, did I break off a bunch of Daiwa jigs. Dollar a pop.

I hate it too. I figure Ive lost about 7 a week or so since spring fishing started. Some days I don’t lose any. Last fall when I was killing the crappie from the bank I think I only lost 2 in two months. The next few months my loss rate will slow down due to the areas I’ll be fishing. I figure I’ve got 700 jig heads in the garage....and I order 20-40 packs every other month. I’ll be giving a few away on the channel. But I sure don’t want to run out.

You have talent.

Very enticing offer but my time is so limited I'd hate to commit and it take forever for me to finish....
I've had so many ask to buy my jigs it's unreal but at the present time I'm not able to do that....

I agree totally with SuperDave and I know you'll enjoy tying...... Like said it's addicting.....

I fell into the pour, paint, tie thing close to 10 years ago. Wish I had started sooner. Once you source your materials and refine your methods, losing one doesn’t hurt near as much. I’ll help anyone through the learning curve that wants to try.
