[@MustacheJigs]

Awesome! Glad it helped!

[@spidergage2531]

Truly Thank you for this video. I bought my fly tie kit/setup from cabelas. Bought also a book, but book wasn't helpful at all. Your video really helped. Appreciate you taking the time to share on tie jigs

[@outfishontario1272]

Thanks for sharing. Hope to start tying some jigs.

New to the channel and watching through everything - really cool stuff. Just picked up my first vice and some materials! Would love to see a video on how to fix mistakes - like with the chenille - say you judged wrong: what to do next. And other situations like that if there are some common ones. Thanks!

[@MustacheJigs]

That’s a great idea! I may have to extend the beginner series to add a video covering that.

[@jacobmccaslin5140]

Where did you buy that vice at? I got a kit from cabela's. The only thing that I don't like about. It is that it's kinda a pain to tighten the jig down. And sometimes when I'm trying to make a hand tie it falls off.

[@MustacheJigs]

I use a renzetti traveler desktop vise. I’ve had it for over a decade and it’s never failed me.

I know this is an older video but I have one question . I bought everything you use to tie jigs . What type of bobbin are you using . I bought 3 Dr Slick and they are so tight they break the thread . I bent them out a little so they would be easier to use . What type of bobbin is this in the video above ?

[@MustacheJigs]

I have a single bobbin that I’ve been using for 10 years. It’s super simple and cheap. It’s a White River ceramic bobbin.

[@ericorange441]

Awesome!! I've started ordering stuff so I can start making my own. Any good places other than Amazon to order stuff from?

[@MustacheJigs]

I love nimrodstackle.com and flyfishfood.com

[@scotttozier4584]

Could you list your materials and where you get them?

[@MustacheJigs]

Check out the earlier videos is the playlist. I have everything listed there.

[@nickbarrett3607]

How long do you typically pre cut your chenille peices

[@MustacheJigs]

I only pre-cut them for videos because it looks nicer. 3-4 inches. Off camera I don’t pre-cut.

[@nickbarrett3607]

@@MustacheJigs lol I was wondering.

[@nickbarrett3607]

@@MustacheJigs yes it does look nicer that's for sure

[@ifs_fishing]

I copied your bluegill candy and hammered them on it

[@MustacheJigs]

Glad to hear it!
