Kool! Excellent workmanship. I've been tying flies for some time now, but never watched anyone do a jig. Very interesting. You are a good instructor. And your whole shop setup is on point. Great layout; everything accessible.
Good job on the jigs. I've been tying since the fifty's and way back when I didn't pour lead I would tye on a split shot to the hook, then a shot of glue. Then paint and feathers or hair. Good luck and health for you and your's. 🎣🤠 Dave Hughes Rolla MO .
Been tying for 25 years and you did a fantastic job teaching the process. Over the years as I got better and winning tournaments on my jigs and spinner baits I started tying for freinds and family and before I knew it....phone started ringing and now I tie fornthe public. I have custom designed spinner bait molds with short arm wire for night time smallmouth. I used a CAD system to design my molds and them machined them out. I most tie crappie, smallmouth and striper baits. Great job and thanks for sharing.
I tie commercially and thought folks might be interested in knowing that Rapala makes "Super Line" scissors that you can pick up for about $5. I have made over 7,000 bucktail jigs using my current pair. One of the blades is serrated and grips bucktail nicely. Hope it saves folks a few bucks.
For some reason I can’t watch the video I’ve been trying my own bucktails for stripers for about an years now and have gotten pretty good at it. My only question to you is have you ever tried vinyl jig paint and is it a lot tougher than powder coat?
Instead of using a file. Use a hammer and hit it flat. Itś fast and it doesn´t create any particles. LIked the video. I picked up great tips. Thanks for publishing it.
Great video appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thinking of going to Lake Texoma Stripper fishing. Haven’t tied in a few year, time to get back into tying. I have a few banana jigs already pored. What colors work good for Stripers? I take it the colors you have hanging work good? Thanks for your help.
Bobin threader is what it is called. Here is a tip about bucktail if you don't know already. The bucktail from a deer can vary from tail to tail. The hair can be straight or wavey . Straight hair is ideal for most jigs. Hollow and the base and the hair gets stiffer and less hollow the closer to the tip of the tail.
There’s a trick for threading your bobbin. Insert your thread into the bottom of the tube and suck on the other side. Make sure you have enough slack and it’ll come right out the other side. I’ve never used one of those little threaders.
Recommendation for tacky resin after I have cured it with the UV light ? I noticed some of my jigs were still tacky after letting them sit for a few days .
I've found some for $1.50 each was so happy 1.1/2 oz And 1. Oz cud not pass that up. In a small town buy a lake I fish in 4 colors yellow, white, black, red, i can change out the color. And died others different colors
Long time bucktail tyer. Any thoughts on how I can make a swing hook bucktail. Would need an eye and swing hook tail instead of the standard jig hook. Hate to have to buy them. Any help greatly appreciated.
Absolutely superb video, may I ask the model of the mold you used and hook size \ model # suggestions for the sizes. Looking to tie banana style 1 oz 1.5 oz 2 oz. Thanks!!!!
Thanks for the write up! It's very helpful. Can you tell me more about the thread? You said Danville but what size? I will be making about the same size jigs as you. Thanks again
You could, but I prefer to get the jigs cleaned up first and looking perfect, file down any rough areas, etc which is easier to do when cool when you can handle them.
One of the best tutorials I've watched, you went over the why of each step.

Great video I’m also thinking of starting to do bucktails. Great work and beautiful set up
Thanks this helps a ton just even to know everything that I need to buy before I start doing this!
Sliped in here on accident ended watching a video that inspired a new hobby...ty amazing video 📹 👏 🙌
thanks for the kind words. enjoy!
That is very neat how you did those jigs.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for the very helpful explanation showing the entire process for making bucktail jigs.
Great video!! Thank you!! This helped me quite a bit as I just received my first bucktail and needed to know how to use/break it down.
Wao so far one of the best and educated vídeo I ever see here in TH-cam from starting to the end many Blessings 🎣
28:44 you’re a great video help me understand why my jigs are so expensive

awesome work! what do you use for the hook protectors ?
Keep my bobbins clean and quick suck with mouth gets thread through bobbin easier and faster than using threader.
BTW it's called a Bobbin Threader. I have one myself and didn't know what it's called. Now we do lol
Hi where do you buy your bucktail? I can only find small pieces of it. Thanks great video btw.

its a banana jig mold from DO IT molds, and they will tell you which hooks work with that mold.
Where do you get your Bucktail hair and glue?
Thanks for the write up! It's very helpful. Can you tell me more about the thread? You said Danville but what size? I will be making about the same size jigs as you.
Thanks again
I like Danville 210 denier flat waxed... my preference but there are many others that will work just fine.
What type of UV resin do you use? Is it just a simple craft uv resin?
It's a bobbin threader. 2.19 at Cabelas
where did you get you mold from
What color/colors do you use for tog jigs
Would spraying wd40 in the moulds help like a cook spray ?
Where did you get your jig head metal molds?
where could I buy all tools and material?
where can I find that same vise
What size hose do you use to cover the hooks? Thank you.
its screen spline
Ah, good to know. Thank you!
Why don't you go straight from the mold to powder paint while it's hot???
You could, but I prefer to get the jigs cleaned up first and looking perfect, file down any rough areas, etc which is easier to do when cool when you can handle them.
How long have you been trying jigs?
A few years , thanks for watching
@@redline927 a few years and you don't know the names of the tools? WTF
@@Mr4twitch What difference does it make if he called it a "ball bag"....the man got skill that demands respect.
What is the name of the vice you're using?
Terra Deluxe... not expensive.
@@redline927 yes thank you, I noticed it was pretty good quality and rotated.
Number 7 MJ
You spend the time to save money on jigs but you buy premix 2 cycle 😂😂
I make jigs because I enjoy it, thanks for the view!
@@redline927 lol np , I genuinely enjoyed the video though looks like a fun proses
It's called a threader.🙄
nice video except for the annoying music.
