I just slip on a tiny plastic bait glued to the jig head. I’ve tied jigs and flies and like the flexibility.

Good Morning ,Sir I just Love the way you got your setup ! I do DIY Things , more than anything store bought ! Your Micro jigs should get some very nice Gills ! Thank you for passing this information on to us Regular people, who don’t go out and get things already made at some terrible high prices ! Take Care and Be Safe

[@ronniehenson4122]

Thank you very much!

[@kenheard5693]

Love your down home approach. Have made some super jigs all from the dollar store. Love and appreciate creative people.Right on brother.

[@ronniehenson4122]

Glad you like them!

[@voltracer9993]

Thank you for the tips. Great info.

You can use a drill. You can buy a cheap fly vice for $15 and it'll accomplish everything you need a basic vice to do. And use the pliers to hold the hook not the eye. You'll have more control over your hook and fight with it less.

[@ronniehenson4122]

Sure can

[@rickmz6310]

Thanks for the tips very good info.

[@kenheard5693]

Thanks for your information. Appreciate you creativity. My most productive jig was made from transparent yellow bow from the dollar store. I haven’t seen any flash like it yet.

[@chucksgmgarage1116]

I went out this evening caught 4 real nice Crappie and maybe 2 dozen gills with 5 nice large mouth bass well the bass 6-12". All caught on my Orvis Rocky Mountain 2 wt fly rod what a blast that was 3 corkies one was dark green a red one and a bright yellow.

[@ronniehenson4122]

Sounds like a lot of fun

[@RyanMinney]

Just getting into tying love this approach for a tail I got a lot of turkey feathers.

[@pistolcreek]

Those jigs look incredible. What kind of jig head did you use to make that off-white one? Looks super good. I also love your DIY setup there. Figuring out how to make stuff from things you already have laying around the garage is one of the most fun and satisfying things, isn't it? Great video and content on your channel. Just subscribed!

[@ronniehenson4122]

Strike King 1/32 oz & 1/16 oz Thank you for the nice comments. Tight lines brother!

[@stevenhunt933]

My first vise was a large hemostat , bobbins made from antler tips , still use 1 antler bobbin now . Works well

[@chucksgmgarage1116]

I started fly tying at the beginning of this year so far it's only wooly buggers for bass and steelhead. Use maribu for the tail and feathers around the bodies.

[@johngarrie2633]

Thinks For the information. I am going to tie. Some up 👍🏻. Just subscribed Keep the videos. Coming grate job 👍🏻

[@ronniehenson4122]

Thanks for the sub!

[@daltonjones3143]

You don't need the threading tool you can put the thread at the entrance to the tube and suck on the other side it'll pull it through

[@johngarrie2633]

I am gone tie some up thinks and keep them videos coming .. make a video useing these catching bluegill 👍🏻

[@ronniehenson4122]

Will do

[@ronkilmer8991]

buy a fly tying vise, and cut you 4.75 min introduction to about a minute. but I like the jig itself

[@tedbeverly6052]

Take a piece of cork on that hook tip. Well not interfere with tying fly. Save a ER run!

[@ronniehenson4122]

LOL! Thanks!

[@Steve-rr3gc]

Better to hold jig at the bend of hook. Then there’s no worry about getting stuck. Also try “hard as nails” nail polish instead of glue. I think it works better than one drop of glue. I put it all over the thread so doesn’t get beat up by all the blue gill or crappie. Squirrel tails work great too

[@steveknipp1220]

Im surprised ya didnt use tree sap for glue and make your own hook.i think you get self gratification using anything other than whats available for 20 bucks.

[@ronniehenson4122]

I do............... :)
