Great looking!

The palmer chenille is 50mm long.
The original shuttlecock fly calss for the head to be made with an ep fiber brush. I changed it for ease of tying to the artic tail.
The original fly design is not...

Nice looking jig Fishaholic!

Skip,
These were tied with large palmer chenille. Estaz isn't long enough. There is a whole length of micro uv pearl flashabou in about 6 strands doubled over, then a bunch of deer tail, then 4...

Hello All,
Most here won't remember me as I have not posted much. I own and operate a small hunting and fishing store in MO. and have some customers who troll for Stripers in a local lake on...

I told ya you'd like using brushes! I can see a real advantage to tying with them, but I can also see where it will be expense as it takes a lot of material to maker a brush. But the color combos...

A brush would work well on a ball jig with no collar.

This is what is left of the brush sample. Ep craft fur brush.

Skip, you'll like using brushes for flies and jigs! Tied up a minnow fly pattern with some sample brush I received from Hairline with this years catalog and couldn't believe how easy it was and how...

Hey Fishaholic_Jim,

I see your profile says you are from MO. What part of MO. are you in? I'm @60 miles east of Springfield in Mountain Grove. I carry a couple of the Terra Super !! Vises in my...

Sally Hanson's, clear powder paint, or silver powder paint will all do the job. Sally's will chip when fished, powder paint when cures properly will outlast the lure.

They do catch fish! I sell a few select colors here in my retail store and have had good feedback from the couple of guys that I special order them for.

I have a mongoose and love it! But, when you get into that price range of vise they are all good!

Ain't no way you could pay me enough to take my kayak out on Lake of the Ozarks! I was with a friend in a nice lowe bass boat last fall and a guy came by in half plane and water came over the top of...

This is for all the tyers who are in the business of selling jigs.
Have you ever heard of a 637 form for the IRS? I've been laying my excise taxes and filing a 720 form for a couple of years now. ...

According to a guy who tested them out for me the Colorado blade did well. The willow had to be cranked hard and fast to keep it spinning.

As a NuCanoe dealer I am going to say NuCanoe. :Rofl

As a kayaker I am going to say what everyone else has said. Kayaks are like pants, there is not one size and one style that will fit everyone....

Outstanding Skip! If you need a new friend..... :)

I used to keep minnows on city water at my store for sale. Better Bait works real well for city water, but turns the water blue. Also, adding a little fine rock salt will help with the slime coat.

Also makes a difference as to what fish you are targeting. Whitebass, Hybrids, like bucktails early and then turn to plastics. Crappie don't seem to like bucktail as much as marabou but will bite...

We have been doing so much tying lately I'm considering getting the big fluid bed that component systems sells. But then I'd have to have a big oven and bigger this and bigger that and.........guess...

Just what it says. How many use Powder Paint and how many use a liquid of some flavor?

I use powder paint and when painting on eyes I use vinyl jig paint.

OK! Thanks for the replies!

I'm hoping to get some other colors tied up soon and get somewhere to test them.

Hey Skip, thanks for the comments.

I have a question. Is there a chart somewhere that shows what size components for what size hook you are using? I was just winging it here and haven't had a...

Hey all, here is an underspin pattern I tied. Going to sale these in my retail store.

What do I need to do to improve them?

Thanks!

#1 split ring...

They are fun on a fly rid. Hybrids are even better!

Yeah this would be fly rod. Was thinking of making some jigs as well.

Think this bunny might catch a white bass? This one is unweighted but I plan on doing some with weight and bead head as well to get them down deep.

So, anyone catch white bass with bunny flies...
