I get my sickle jigheads from David Wayne Grimmett Sr. on Facebook. For sharp J hooks I get them from bucktaillures.com. As far as tools and materials, check out my jig tying for beginners series! kzbin.info/aero/PL15FcgiMFI2XVP7E1op75r9VuCzyQHRV9&si=8Zw6aH8EGFTMG6Zo

Correct. Nothing fancy.

Ceramic help with breaking with smaller thread? ​@@TheRiverBugProject

I use a renzetti traveler desktop vise. As for the tools and materials, check out my jig tying for beginners playlist. I explain everything you need to get started and where I source my materials. kzbin.info/aero/PL15FcgiMFI2XVP7E1op75r9VuCzyQHRV9&si=gb1XE1ijHqHMi9Vj

Thank you very much, Sir!

There’s not any metal in this organza. It’s 100% nylon.

@@MustacheJigs gotcha. Had something similar from hobby lobby it has a thin metal runner in it. Thanks 🙏🏻

I use a generic ceramic bobbin that I got for $2 like 10 years ago.

I really appreciate that!

Loon thick

You’re right. I called it that even though I’m missing the green.

It’s loon thick. Available at flyfishfood.com

That’s a great idea! I’ll have to try that.

Mustache... thebacc is right! As you are building up resin layers, fine glitter can be added. You can even sprinkle the fine glitter in a small container and apply with a fine paint brush. I have come up with sick designs doing this. I will add also that you can add the color shifting pigments into the resin in addition to the glitter and it will absolutley blow your mind. Color shift pigment is excellantvwhen adding to resin. The combinations are endless.

Excellent idea!

I’m sure you could!

Thanks! I bought them on eBay. I just searched “1/16 oz minnow jig head” and there’s a bunch to choose from.

Yeah it lasted a few fish, but it did end up breaking off.

Cheating but you could easily replace it with soft plastic trailer.

I’ve been doing well, thanks Alex. Just super busy since I set up my site. I’ve had lots of orders to fill. I hope all is well for you too!

Ya I am getting ready to retire and I am afraid it isn't going to be much of a retirement! Not ling ago I had a small accident while using a table saw. Still got all of my fingers but did break my index and middle finger on my left hand. In doing so it shut my jig tying down which meant orders started backing up big time. All of my customers were really nice and understood but ordered continued to pile up. Tried getting my sister in law to help. Although I taught her how to tie a really nice qaulity jig she just wasn't fast enough. This week is the first time I have even tried to get behind the vice. Got to get me muscle memory back. Skills are still there but the fingers are very stiff and after a half dozen jigs my fingers get really sore and weak. Will take some time. As of today I am about 37 orders behind. Most are small but I several that are over 100 each. Have several short arm spinner bait orders that are needing attention but bending the wire in the custom jigs are very challenging. I will get there eventually. I want to thank you you for your channel. I enjoy watching others tie especially when they produce a high qaulity jig like you do. Due to being a subscriber and following you I was worried when we didnt see you for awhile. By the way....we really didn't think this thing through when we decided to start tying for the public. I am just glad I don't advertise and most of my orders are through word or mouth and anglers I meet in tournaments and out on the lake.

@@alexrawleigh3167 wow that's crazy! I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you're back to tying. I hope you'll be back to your old self soon!
