TUTORIAL: Tying My FAVORITE Steelhead Jig - Nightmare Jig

[@grant0410]

I like to put marabou instead of the hackle. It’s definitely a cool pattern that I’ve always wondered how to make. Now I know.

[@riverwatch7675]

Thanks man! Super easy tutorial

[@jimgillen5134]

Nice tie, good tutorial and video

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

i am gonna try to make some of these. great recipe my friend

[@TheJonesea11]

Nice video! Always have wondered how to tie those types of jigs!

[@FishandForage]

Thanks! I thought those tail things were their own separate material until I looked into it lol pretty easy jigs to tie

[@donnieross8254]

Great video Zach! The guy that gave the thumbs down is a lonely person.

[@FishandForage]

Eh, it's the internet. Always gonna be some people ;)

Great job thanks for sharing

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Well done. You earn all your fish for sure! Thanks man!

[@TheSpeyfisher]

Excellent my friend! The only criticism (good) if I could share is to use a White background color. It will make the hackle and chenille easier to see? Otherwise, excellent tie and simple. Thank you for sharing....

Best info on the aero fly tail that I seen yet, thank you. Keep up the good work.

[@FishandForage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@westcoastnightmares5522]

I'm pretty sure I found one your jigs in the bushes down at a creek I fish,cause the orange and red combo!

[@jeredtillman-sanchez1756]

What jig tying tool kit us that? Also, what is the part called that u used to hold the yarn separated?

[@ReelFishingPNW]

Awesome tutorial! What is that tool called that's holding the thread? I'm going to try this! Buying jigs gets expensive.

[@FishandForage]

Dude totally... 3-5 bucks a pop takes its toll very quickly! The thread holder is called a bobbin. I would recommend scouting out craigslist for fly tying kits to get started, but they also sell decent starter kits in the stores, too.

@@FishandForage Especially when I lose 3-5 per outing 😅 thanks again man I'll be re-watching to this video a couple times once I get all my supplies ready!

@@ReelFishingPNW everyone must pay the river gods some lures for fishing luck. :)

terima kasih sudah berbagi pengalaman..

[@andershandmadecrafts9437]

those would catch a lot here

[@janicebabin2764]

Very good tutorial one thing I like to do is place the hook in the vase so that the point is not exposed nothing more aggravating than accidentally pressing the Fred passed point cutting off

[@FishandForage]

That is a good idea! That's totally never happened to me, ever. In fact, I have no idea what you're talking about. ;)

[@adamnoga-styron7882]

What thread do you use?

[@FishandForage]

Most of my new thread is "Ultra Thread" but I have a few spools of older stuff that I got when I bought a big bundle of tying material.

[@adamnoga-styron7882]

@@FishandForage What thickness do you recommend for jigs?

[@FishandForage]

@@adamnoga-styron7882 For jigs I normally got pretty thick(210 or 280). Steelhead have gnarly teeth and the hooks are pretty big, so I am not worried about the thread being too bulky or anything.

[@adamnoga-styron7882]

@@FishandForage Thanks for the info

[@hucknbarry3496]

Mine from back in the day just have yarn epoxied on, apparently they dont like epoxy.

[@FishandForage]

Haha did you learn this from experience? :P

[@hucknbarry3496]

Inexperience

[@fredthegamerschrarder7716]

Hooked my first winter steelhead and he got off 😭

[@FishandForage]

That's the story of my season so far, too! haha

[@Nicholasyeahbruh]

Did you ever catch a steelhead???!

[@fredthegamerschrarder7716]

@@Nicholasyeahbruh yeah hooked 7 more and landed 4 of them.

[@raybly6613]

doing it the hard way, spending way to much time. the black tail can be pretied 10 times faster.

[@FishandForage]

What's the better way? I'd like to save some time if I can!

[@raybly6613]

@@FishandForage use ultra chenille micro black with strung Chinese 5to 7 inch black you can pre ties these 10 at a time so much faster watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWq6mYGGa5mdirM also lay down your base first go to the tail second red yarn third then do the red band last having all that tied on at once is tough to do. I can tie one in 1.5 minutes. hope this helps. btw using that medium hackle for the tails makes them to bulky in my opinion, that's if you want them to look more like the aero jig which I figured you were trying to do. also you can use black rabbit fur for the tail it works just as good.
