    Way too many to guess, even 1/32 Oz Roadrunners I tied, probably have a few hundred of them alone. Also have loads of unpainted head for Roadrunners and Pony heads as well.

    Really it doesn't matter how many you have tied, it's more what is next and how well can I tie them and of course are you still enjoying it, know I am.

    I carry around 80 to 100 in the boat because I travel light. I had so many a few years back that I picked out a dozen favorites and sold both boxes and started again. Taken a razor blade to a lot that never made it to the box too. Since selling the boxes I try to keep it in perspective. Carrying a lot of jigs also prompts you to give some out at the ramp and among friends.

    Maybe only around 100. This last Saturday I tied 6... gave 3 to my buddy and kept 3. Then fished them Sunday and lost all 3 I kept. That's how it goes.

    Enough to be called a "HOARDER" by my wife. Probably made 250,000 + since I started tying but probably have less then 10,000 here now. Need to start thinning out some materials but still tie several times a week.

    I am on the small end of the spectrum. I tie as I go, carry around 40 in the boat and maybe 100 or so at home. If friends want something I tie it and it is gone. I keep telling them I don't tie much when I am fishing so get your order in over the winter.

    That’s the reason your jigs and ideas area step above a lot of us here. Always enjoy your posts. Give me stuff to try when I get a minute. Sadly, that’s not very often. Keep after it, think of the yard sale you could have.

    You guys take this aspect of the sport to a new level. It is an addictive hobby, and especially good in the off season. If I can clear out enough space....I would love to get back into tying.
