How to Hand Tie a Jig with Old School Round Living Rubber from Start to Finish

[@MSSfan]

WOW! Finally I found a hand whip finish tutorial that makes sense! Great photography and narration. Thanks.

[@basschaser9356]

Very cool. I always want to start tie my own jig. Please make more videos like this

[@BassUnion]

Thanks! I’ll try 🤙

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Add some silicon or bucktail and you've got a sweet hybrid! Some of my favorite jigs combine rubber with other elements. Props on the whip finish by hand 👌👍

[@doug96007]

Thank you. I am not able to fly fish any longer. I did keep my fly tying tools and materials so now I can put them to good use. Don't worry I'll still buy yours too. Lol

[@BassUnion]

Have fun it’s definitely addicting! I appreciate the support 🤙

[@coopdogg5578]

Do you use Teflon pins for the weed guard hole or something else. I have a mold with the small weed guard and would like to know what you use if it's not secret. Thanks nice vid.

[@F.A.R.T]

Very informative and enjoyable video. Praying for 🌧 for you.

[@BassUnion]

Thanks! I appreciate it 🙌

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

thank you so much man I have fallen in love with your jigs I pair it up with my new rod sam sobi special 724 and a dawia ct tws 6.3.1 and 17-pound flor. I hope to one day be able to come out there and fish with you as I always say jig or die

[@BassUnion]

Once we get some more water in the lake I’ll be doing trips again! Come on out 🤙 thanks for the support 🙌

[@davidbowen9603]

Best jig tying video I have seen thank you

[@jeffahrens6246]

Joe, you make it look so easy. Thanks for all you do to make it easy for us! The upper Sac River by Cottonwood is doing good right now. Fly fishing Catching Rainbows, Silvers, & King Salmon.

[@BassUnion]

Thanks brother! Keep ripping those lips!

[@SM-nv1jj]

Thanks for sharing. I've tied for years but your process of tying the knot is much simpler.

[@LunkerswithLandon]

Man I love the way you put that rubber on the jig, I’ll have to start doing that! I don’t use any off those tools either, I just use my fingers

[@BassUnion]

Thanks! Keep it up you’ll be a pro in no time 🤙

[@LunkerswithLandon]

@@BassUnion thanks! Ya I plan on making my own jigheads soon so I don’t have to pay crazy amounts on jigheads.

[@BassUnion]

@@LunkerswithLandon just be careful pouring lead is nothing to fool around with. Trust me 😵‍💫

[@LunkerswithLandon]

@@BassUnion hahaha ya that’s what I’ve heard. I’ll definitely have proper ventilation and protection.

[@tompresnell2637]

This was a great instructional. I have been looking for a better way to tie living rubber without wire or collars and you have inspired me to learn. Thank you!

[@JohnnyJenkins]

I really appreciate you making this video. I would love to see more content like this. I’ll be sure to keep your company in mind next time I’m ordering baits.

[@tomjohnson8479]

That's awesome Joe!

[@BassUnion]

Thanks Tom!!

[@robertchadwick1552]

Hey Joseph, Man this video is a game changer for me! Thanks for breaking down how you tie jigs and finish it without the whip finisher. Using rubber skirts looks so much easier to tie & the flair is sweet. I just subscribed and can't wait to check out your other videos. Thank you!!!

[@BigRichFishing]

This is great content man. You rrally do great work your product is legit and catches lots of fish.

[@BassUnion]

Thanks brother! 🙌

[@jeffreyrennert2067]

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Two questions, what about some kind of epoxy on thread, and would guide tying thread work? I have size D,C, and A.

[@coachlance1420]

Thanks great video ! Please do one to explain powdercoating and weed guard placement. I struggle getting powdercoat in the weed guard hole then can't add my guard at the end. Keep up the good work.

[@BassUnion]

Thanks brother! I definitely have some tricks up my sleeve for that 🤙

[@AddictedAngler]

Thats unique way , thanks for sharing it

[@biggybrocosta]

Wow I just found this video and you make it look so easy and fast, how do you tie in 2 different colors and how long do you cut your rubber strips to?

[@eddiestephens868]

Awesome video! Where do you buy you rubber material and also your vise and bobbin? Would like to see you tie two colors together. Can you get the rubber in wider strands. The individual strands after they’re cut. On a 3/8 and up I just like the strands to be a little bigger. Thanks for sharing.

[@DakotaHunt127]

Awesome

[@BassUnion]

Thanks!

[@pietervanniekerk3776]

Thanks a lot it helps how do u do a 2 couler jig like to see that to 🤙

[@timtillfishing5906]

Where do you get the jig head at do they sell bulk also I ordered some of your fineese football jigs today.

[@BassUnion]

I pour them! Thanks for the support!

[@djradrs199]

DING DING !! ?? will a vise form a fly tying kit hold the bass jigs ???

[@BassUnion]

Probably!

[@briansmith5376]

@@BassUnion what type of vise do you use?

[@NWHXIX85]

Might be a dumb question but when you cut the rubber how do you get it to spread out like that? Does it just do it on its own after you cut it?

[@craigstringer5602]

Thanks for sharing

[@devincampbell4328]

could u put living rubber on a dart head something different

[@TheSplitzMusic]

What about multi color skirts? Same process just use 2 skirt sheets? Colored tinsel?

[@BassUnion]

I use quarter tabs for my accent colors

[@TheSplitzMusic]

Methos for spinnerbaits essentially the same?

[@BassUnion]

@@TheSplitzMusic for me yup

[@foreverangler8724]

Is that fine, medium or heavy grade of round rubber

[@garymitchell625]

Nice .

[@BassUnion]

Thanks!

[@andredaniel1630]

What type of living rubber do you use? The rubber l use does not come apart that easy. I spend more time pulling the strands apart. Nice video!

[@ronniemartin8391]

Where to purchase living rubber?

[@neilgwinn7378]

That’s sweet

[@TheBassinPastor]

Do you use fine or medium size round Rubber?

[@TX_Nupe]

What is the starting length of your living rubber before you trim it?

[@CALIBEAR]

Legit

[@BassUnion]

Thanks!

[@basschaser9356]

Do you use weed guard?

[@BassUnion]

Yeah I glue all my weedgards in after I get them tied 🤙

[@bassarsenal1833]

Ahhhh my living rubber keeps coming out when I pull on it

[@tonybarfield3242]

Should do at least one with a weed guard

[@BassUnion]

I don’t tie my jigs with the weedgard in. It makes it more difficult. After I get them all tied up I put the weedgard in 🤙
