[@bigcscustomjigs2680]

Cicle hooks hands down I have never had one break

[@garyharry2350]

Eric, thank you for helping us who are just beginning to tie. One question I have is what sally hensen do you use. There are several different types. Thanks Gary

[@ericmasseyjigco]

It’s the round bottle just says hardener

[@micheledaugherty275]

Eric, if you do just one more wrap with your chenille at the end ( over wrap) you end up with a fuller body and not as much thread showing at the neck…..Nice Rootbeer / white color scheme.

[@ericmasseyjigco]

I tie mine like that on purpose

[@jbecke91]

Hey Eric, great tie! Just curious, what is your preferred method for fishing jigs like this? Under a slip bobber? Cast and retrieve? Appreciate your insight

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Under a bobber or vertically jigging under 12’ rod

[@alejandroortiz8941]

Great video! Can you tell us about your vise. Looks very sturdy

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Peak rotary

[@Bigfen73]

Forgot to add that Dollor Tree bundles are only $1.25. Problem is they only have about 3 colors.

[@evans27292]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS. WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE SUPPLIER WHERE YOU PURCHASED YOUR SUPPLIES? MISSED IT WHEN YOU SAID. THANKS GEORGE

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Jig heads were from limits tackle Material from Plateau Fly Shop

[@evans27292]

THANKS SO MUCH PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING.

[@Bigfen73]

I’ve been doing like you said, looking all over the place for tying material mostly EBay . Have found stuff at Walmart, but found some chenille at hobby lobby , I think it’s 62 yds between $5 &$6. Also found a 64 yds bundle at Dollar Tree. They are a little thicker than #2 but they work well. Thanks again for your videos.

[@jameslunsford4168]

Luv ur jigs I’ve been tying for bout 12 years but I’m finally to a point where I can possibly sell some. I just need help on packaging, any thoughts?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

I get small bag froM Amazon and make my labels on my printer….. be careful selling can turn a fun hobby into a lot of work

[@bryanwesley5410]

@@ericmasseyjigco Never a truer statement. It can make you go from loving siting at the tying table to dreading it.

[@fishingwithnate8252]

My jigs spin like crazy, any tips?

[@stevegreen4132]

[@curtiscouch2260]

Can you possibly explain a good shad or minnow pattern jig?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

[@jeffro7407]

where is a good place to order jig heads at? enjoyed your video and trying to learn to tie my own.

[@ericmasseyjigco]

I’ve got 2 guys I use facebook.com/jasonstackle.jasonbrummell

[@ericmasseyjigco]

facebook.com/LimitsTackle

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Both are awesome at what they do

[@ericmasseyjigco]

All my powder paint comes from 1st guy also

[@mikecollins5146]

Can you do a video using hackle, I’ve been trying to tie with hackle but can’t get the result I want.

[@ericmasseyjigco]

I’ll try

[@dennisasper6742]

what is your opinion on using organic material like human or animal hair?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

I’ve done it even beard hair once

[@jodygazaway3499]

So what do you think is the best thread for tying flat waxed or no waxed?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

I use both

[@jodygazaway3499]

Awesome thank you.

[@alexrawleigh3167]

Eric....just curious....why did you stop using hard as hull head cement?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Sally Hanson is cheaper and works the same try using Uv resin

[@alexrawleigh3167]

I have been using UV gel for a long time now but I was just curious because at one time you said hard as hull cement was better then Sally Hansen's. I use loon water based cement and really like it. I use Sally Hansen's clear to put over my UV. It basically fixes the tackyness of the UV. By the way it looks like you have lost some weight... hope youbare OK. Guntersville crappie are wife open now. Water temos getting down into the mid to low 70's. Waiting on that 52 degree water temp for the bigger fish. Glad you are back....missed watching your videos. Take care and thanks for all of the content.

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Also the hard as hill would get so tacky it was hard to use yea I lost some weight trying to kick diabetes in the ass

[@alexrawleigh3167]

Ya I am not diabetic but got on a low carb diet and lost a bunch of weight. I found that sugar also effect I flamation and when I cut my sugars out my stenosis in my back improved and my RA improved big time. It's tough eliminating carbs. What was the hardest for me was potatoes, pasta and breads. Took about a month to stop craving those things. I know one thing I have tons of energy now and sleep better.

[@tonywheeler7473]
