    Default Amazing works of art!


    Ever since I’ve started tying jigs I can’t get enough of looking and admiring others jigs. I find this very enjoyable and leads to more creativity. I use Pinterest and that led me to the most amazing works of art I’ve ever seen. I know these are flies and not jigs but just floors me the with the beauty. I can’t imagine the amount of work that goes into something like these. How could you not be inspired?

    Those are amazing to me. I have always figured anyone with that much talent could pick up a brush and be another Picasso.

    Time and money. Some of those salmon flies require one heck of a collection of exotic materials.

    Yes anyone wanting to get into flitting heavy better have a good pocket book too!

    I have 3 Jungle Cock Capes and they were not low cost. You can see the lower cost ones on eBay for $60ish to $100ish, but are in Europe and they have to clear customs at your cost. The ones shipping from the USA are $150 and up, lol! It's also super technical unlike crappie jigs, they measure everything depend ing on hook size and even measure the hackle size to that hook.
