Hey guys, been awhile since I've posted anything. I've lost two grandparents in the past seven months so things have been rough lately. Tying has been a nice escape at times. I've still been checking...

Here's another one from my duck. I got the black from the back end of the duck. This is actually one of Skip's v's. I just liked the way this one looked and thought I would share. 1/16 oz head,...

Makes sense. I was just curious. Great looking stuff as always.

I think I'll throw the Cul-Du-Canard term around on my next hunt and see if everyone is impressed. Very interesting info guys, thank you for the help and look forward to tying some more.

Stump, can you send me some jigs that work in Kansas? :) Just kidding but I really enjoy seeing your posts, keep up the good work!

They look as awesome as the last bunch! I still love the blue. At the risk of sounding dumb again, is there a reason you use the longer chenille on your roadrunners? I also like the paint on the...

Appreciate the nice comments guys. I know I still have a long ways to go but I felt good about tying this one. Like I said, not sure if it'll catch fish but I really like it because of the feather....

Wow. Thanks for the video skip. Pretty impressive how good people are at this stuff. I have a lot to learn for sure.

Ok, now I feel dumb. Flank definitely makes more sense when I think of it that way. One more dumb question and then I'll stop, I promise. What is CDC?

I have no idea if this will catch fish and I know it's not tied really well but I'm awful proud of it. This is the first jig I've tied with a feather off a bird I actually harvested. It was a good...

Ha, thanks! I don't feel quite so dumb now. I just went online and looked at mallard feathers people were selling and found something close on the bird and started pulling and cutting and I think I...

Ok, this is probably a dumb question but where are the flank feathers located on the bird? I'm new to all of this so I've been more concerned with where I can the most meat off of a duck or goose in...

My Dad and I used 1/64 oz (maybe 1/32, I'm getting old) purple beetlespins for bluegill a ton when I was young. We used to drive about 30 miles to a bait shop that had them just to get them,...

Thank you! That is a great article, tons of good information in there. I treated the wings like a turkey fan and tried to remove as much meat as possible but I will wash them down and try the...

Finally got out for my first hunt of the year Thanksgiving morning and had a good day, 2 mallard drakes and 4 gadwall hunting by myself. It had been mentioned to me in a previous post that waterfowl...

Sorry to hijack the thread here but I agree with dux. I got in to duck hunting at a fairly late age and one of the reasons was the original duck commander videos, I'm talking VHS. My wife loves the...

Even as a duck hunter (also a crappie fisherman) when I first read this message I thought the duck hunter was on the wrong side of things but reading the other posts I'm starting to possibly change...

They look awesome. I need some lessons from you, love the color combos and how well they are tied. I've tried one roadrunner so far and it was a pretty sad attempt. As you can see, I have some...

They all look great! I'm partial to that blue though, love it, and I'm always a sucker for black/yellow. Are all of them marabou?

Those look awesome Skip. I'm a huge roadrunner fan, fish them all year long. What is that blue? I really like that color and like the chenille on the last one a lot.

I fish 2" black and chartreuse 75% of the time. One of my Dad's buddies kind of taught me how to fish for crappie and that's what he used and it has stuck with me. It's probably just a confidence...

Love it, looks awesome. I really like the red head.

Awesome, well I'm happy to be a part of it and can't wait to see what everyone else is doing. I'm sure I will learn a lot from everyone.

Not sure anyone will want my stuff but I'm in if you need another. I'm new to this, do we just do one jig per person?

Makes sense, better then looking at our box pile for sure and would probably cut down on the glare from the tv. She's been pretty tolerant so far, we'll see what she thinks when this next order...

Wow! You guys all take this to a whole nother level. Are there videos online showing how to do the custom painting? I would love to learn how to do it.

The blue on both jigs is artic fox. On the first jig that is pink marabou in the tail, just a couple strands which I may have left the stem on but I can't remember. On the first one I was really...

Appreciate the input Skip. Is there something you would suggest for my second round of ordering or should I just get a little of everything and see what I like?

Hey Guys...I am only a week in to this and had a few questions about materials. I bought my initial supplies at Cabela's and the guy in the fly shop there, who was very helpful, suggested marabou...
