    Default How do you stop Tying?!


    Ok guys I'm hooked . Got my starter kit from Skip a few weeks ago and now I can't stop ! I have caught some fish on my jigs and that has made it even worse. All in all, it's a good problem to have.

    It only gets worse !!! Once you start you can't stop !!! Now when I go to Wal-mart I go to the craft section before I go to the sporting goods, trying to find something different to tie jigs with. It is addictive !!!

    There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a load of crappie hauled in on your jigs...

    That is just the tip of the ice berg so to speak and when you graduate to my spot you will no longer thing it's funny. I can't stop buying and it's been going on for 2 years now!

    Many many months I buy like $500 worth of tying materials!

    Why would you ever want to stop? Since I primarily fish for crappie and Bream, ...I tie jigs that work for those too species. It really is addictive and good clean fun!
