Does anyone know of a company that makes a similar jig? Also, does anyone know where I can find, either online or otherwise, some information about tying jigs. Colors, proportions, etc. I have tied both wet & dry flies for trout and bream, so tying up some jigs wouldn't be a problem, but I would want to do it right.
Anyone one here tie your own jigs?

You might check with Boscoe in the Virginia forum. He makes some excellent jigs. I personally think he doesn't charge enough for them but I'm not going to complain about it. Seriously, he makes some high quality jigs and I've had a lot of success with them.
