    Default Back in the saddle again!


    After a move, and not being into tying much the last year or so I set up a bench in my garage and am back at it! With the kids and amount of stuff that occupies my time I hardly fish but I am enjoying sitting at my bench after the kids go to sleep and tie up some new jigs! I have hundreds on hand and have been giving them to my friends but the lack of fishing hasn't slowed down my tying!
    I am going to be sharing my work on here from time to time, glad to be back!

    Nice jigs! Cactus is nice, but don't over look other Mylar Chenilles though, like Ice Chenille, Crystal in the larger size like I use and Estaz (except Estaz is so high cost most don't use it).

    I am sure it's nice to get settled back in after a move, not something I want to think about, lol!

    Good job on the jigs. Like Skip said I like the Ice but I use the smaller size.

    I think I have some of that as well, or maybe just a little. I just ordered some new stuff for the first time in probably 4 years? I have a bunch of stuff still to use but was out of thread and running low on a couple feather colors I like. I have a couple hundred 1/16th oz jigs on #4 and #6 hooks ready to paint but need to cast some more smaller stuff. I should be good on materials for a few more years at the pace I turn them out!
    Thanks guys! It is nice to have a dedicated place to tie!
