New Jig Tie-er - sourcing materials?

[toddx318]

Hi everyone - I am looking to get into jig tying for personal use (not to sell). I am wondering if anyone has any good resources to share on where I might be able to get some of the tying materials.

Stuff like the chenille, thread, heckle, maribou, etc.

I am sure I will have more questions as I dive deeper in!
Thank you for your help!

Thank you fellas, I will check those places out!

Another random question - how many jigs can you expect to get out of one of the bunch of Hackle Feathers? Example like the 4-6" Custom Neck Hackle from Woods & Water for $6.95.

The way I tie I use one hackle feather usually per jig. Tip and 3 V’s so I can tie hundreds maybe per pack???

I use this calculation for 1/32 and 1/16 jigheads. I use two hackles for 1/8 and larger jig heads. One package of hackle goes a very long way.

I hate feathers,, stuff gets to me when it starts to fly around, so I use either foxtail, or rubber bass skirts or synthetic type materials ..

Skiptomylu is the best on cdc in my opinion! Good luck tying!

I will suggest Woods and Water for materials also. He has everything you need and ships the same day.
