That is an awesome colored jig! Amazing tutorial! Never tried tying a jig but after watching you do it I feel like this may be something I need to try!
@@seanrivard1254 I wish I knew the brand. It has no markings on it. I bought it several years ago through Mudhole. The key is to get one that rotates 360 degrees.
@@seanrivard1254 you can order that purple from Barlow’s. I used to have a local source but he’s now retired so I’m sort of scrambling for a local option.
Supper. I sure will give it a try. To tie some Jig's. in your stile. We have Walleye's here in Southeast Colorado. Her they get close to the shallows starting in January. Best time is after a storm half cloud-e day. Use to us Yellow Dollie Jigs. Thank You.
Great video. Been painting and tying for 35 years. Best switch was powder paint using their fluid bed. I paint a 3 or 4 color jig in seconds using the Badger spray bottles from Protech powder paint. By heating in a toaster oven before painting, you can paint a dozen jigs in less than 15 minutes using the fluid bed. Did a video for Do-it Molds last year showing how to paint multicolor jigs. Live in Fond du Lac WI, pouring jigs all winter. Thanks again for great video, at 75, never to old to learn. Have a safe 2022. Guy Jensen👍
Great looking tie. I'll have to give those colors a go. That's a good finishing knot, I've seen a few tiers use it. I think it's still called a "whip", and the same knot used in rod building. Thanks and tight lines.
I learned that finish from building rods. I started that before I started tackle crafting. I’ll lose my jig to the river bottom before that thing ever comes apart!
Just retired a couple months ago and I just bought some property right on the Missouri river in North Dakota be moving mid summer, thanks for the video. Will have plenty of time to do some R&D
If you wouldn't mind----what's the paint color on that jig. Catching up with a supplier next weekend in Novi...then heading to the reefs in Erie this spring.
Awesome tutorial. That color would be the best up here on the western end of Lake Erie during the pre-spawn / spawn. Since the water is normally muddy with less than 1-foot visibility, darker colors stand out the best. Purple, JD green, and black main head/body colors are the ticket. The brighter accent colors also play a role in helping the walleye spot the contrast and helps trigger them into striking. I'm ready to get some fly-tying tools so I can tie some. Is that a homemade vise? It's a nice study one. Thanks for posting.
@@fishingthe262 That's good to know. I live close to Jann's Netcraft near Toledo, OH and hope to see all the tying tools tomorrow. I'd like to tie up some streamer flies to try, if the water ever clears up.
That is a whip finish method you used, just like one using a whip finish tool or your fingers. This whip finish method is used to prevent ropes from unraveling and is the same method used to attach eyes on fishing rods. Liked your video.
Very nice technique. Quick question- why did you use the lighter color on top? Most jigs I’ve seen use light on bottom. Most fish, things fish eat are lighter on the bottom
No wrong way way to fish it. Drag it, hop it, snap jig it, vertical jig it. You can tip it with a minnow or a piece of gulp if they’re finicky. I usually start without bait though.
I use 210 denier flat wax thread, the first couple wraps are fairly loose to get the hair where I want it, after that I wrap pretty tight. It’s hard to explain, it’s more of a feel thing. Give it a go and you’ll see what I mean.
what really getting me guys want to use braid to fish with an they cant break it an it gets all tangled up in my jigs i have pull just so much pile of line were guys keep cutting line cause they cant break it
I use braid for my main line because the thinner diameter cuts through the current better, but the fluorocarbon leader will always break first in the event of a snag.
It’s because no one ever showed them how. Point rod at the snag, apply hand/finger pressure on the spool so it can’t move. The leader will break or if tied directly, the knot at the jig. Simple. NEVER, EVER WRAP BRAID AROUND YOUR HAND OR FINGERS AND TRY AND BREAK THE LINE. Braid can be very dangerous. Sounds crazy but it’s true. Nice tie. I use the same color combo in the Detroit river. Favorite is pink accent instead of chartreuse. White is a killer color also :-) :-). Tight lines Tubers 🎣🎣😃😃
Not sure what you’re trying to say, if you’re implying I’m not a professional fly tier, you’d be correct. I have a full time career and a family that take up most of my time. The video was simply made to show how easy it is to make a productive jig and save a few bucks along the way. Tight lines!
How do you know it’s the most productive jig ever. Did you do a survey? Last guy I seen fishing a hair jig was in a row boat wearing a plaid shirt and had a black lab.
You can paint them on if you want, but it’s completely unnecessary. When the current is flowing hard on the Mississippi River they don’t get that close of a look at the jig. The water is too fast and too dirty for it to matter.
I like how easy you made it look, it gives me confidence
Even if they aren’t perfect they’ll catch fish. Just keep tying!!
Nothing wrong with your camera work and the jig looks fabulous, can't wait to tie one up to use! Thanks!
Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing my friend. Stay safe and connected😊

Thanks for watching! You should definitely give it a go!
Can you tell me what vise you use? Thanks

Where do you get your colored deer tails? Especially that deep purple!!!

Luv me some walleye............Great stuff man keep it up

Will have plenty of time to do some R&D
Congrats on your retirement!!!
@@fishingthe262 Yep, it's a killer pattern and that color combo is where its at,
If its slow, I go to all black.
Thanks learned a lot great day great fishing
Thanks for watching!!

Junebug w/ green flake from Protec
@@fishingthe262 thankyousoverymuch!!
Great Video! Gonna try it on a ball head Gamakatsu jighead (all I have) and try it on the Detroit River this week. Let you know!

It’s like a $40 vise I got on Mudhole back in the day. I think getting one that rotates 360 degrees is the key.

I didn’t know what is called, I just knew it from building rods….all I know is for me personally it’s easier than that tool….lol
Very nice technique. Quick question- why did you use the lighter color on top? Most jigs I’ve seen use light on bottom. Most fish, things fish eat are lighter on the bottom
The chartreuse is on what would be the “belly” of the jig. If you look again you’ll see it is opposite of the line tie.
sorry I stand corrected. I didn’t pay close enough attention. I was tying jigs assn watching video at same time. Lol
I'm fishing from land on lake Erie two. But I fish and Pennsylvania River to when I get the chance.
sweet looking jig brother
Addicted Angler thank you sir, appreciate that. I also appreciate the sub, I subbed you back!
nice!!
Really great looking jig!! What kind of heads are those?!
It’s a Do-it Molds flat side jig. I pour them in my garage. I think I give the exact model number in the video.
Well done!
I just see it as Flo. Yellow than Chartreuse, am I right?
The color are use I Chartreuse. I’m sure a fluorescent yellow would do fine.
@fishingthe262 using specific brand?
Fantástico video, nuevo sub!!!
Good video!! How do you fish it? Do you tip
It with a minnow? Rip it etc.
No wrong way way to fish it. Drag it, hop it, snap jig it, vertical jig it. You can tip it with a minnow or a piece of gulp if they’re finicky. I usually start without bait though.
I want a few of them I don't make them can order them.
How tight do you rap the thread around the jig to hold the tail?
I use 210 denier flat wax thread, the first couple wraps are fairly loose to get the hair where I want it, after that I wrap pretty tight. It’s hard to explain, it’s more of a feel thing. Give it a go and you’ll see what I mean.

Hook size and weight please?
I pour them as small as 1/4 and as heavy as 3/4. I fish the smallest I can get good bottom contact with in the current.
Or a tier

What jig mold is that?
David Rogers I think it’s called flat side....I give the exact model number towards the end of the video...
What kind of vice is that
I don’t know the brand, I bought it from Mudhole or Barlow’s. It was like $40 if I remember correctly.
I found it at Mudhole for $49
How do you know it’s the most productive jig ever. Did you do a survey? Last guy I seen fishing a hair jig was in a row boat wearing a plaid shirt and had a black lab.
Maybe you need a new plaid shirt 😂😂
Where's the eyes?
You can paint them on if you want, but it’s completely unnecessary. When the current is flowing hard on the Mississippi River they don’t get that close of a look at the jig. The water is too fast and too dirty for it to matter.
