As a jig tyer myself i much prefer to pour my own jig heads inserting my own style of hooks for tying...If i am tying for myself i use "Lil Nasty" sickle hooks BUT when tying for the public i use Gamakatsu hooks why ? Because here in Australia Sickle hooks are only really seen and accepted in our bass fisheries...Meanwhile for saltwater work customers prefer the Gamakatsu hooks...So that's the start of a custom jig for me...Then because I tie for multiple species i use differing styled and weighted heads... I also use Marabou, bucktail, rabbit fur, mylar- chenilles, silicone strips etc. I like your style of feather jigs Eric...keep up the great work...regards B.J.
You have been a inspiration ,for me to get started tying jigs. Been trying to the flies for a while.
I’m glad it’s addicting be careful
Yeah you are right my jigs don't look right but it's just cuz I just started painting them😂
I bet they look fine
Been useing Sally Hanson since mid 80s . Cant beatit 😉
I to don’t skimp on the material, I want them to be as perfect as I possibly can 😊

thanks, as I see many of my jigs looking bad.....
Bet they’ll catch fish though
Every time I go to Walmart I buy three or four bottles of Sally Hansen…🙄
Same here
Can’t tie without it
Thanks for the lesson, I was making my feathers too long. What size of hooks do you use on the jigs? I’ve been using #2 on mine.
I use #4
I need a long sleeve logo shirt or hoodie with your logo please for Christmas
I don’t think I’ll get anymore

Yes peak rotary vice
@@ericmasseyjigco ok thank you
Did you V the hackle on the second jig...?
No
Buy jigs without a collar?
I rather order better jigs that were made in the USA 🇺🇸
I hate seeing them tied with the barb on them. Lots of them out there.
I WANT TO HEAR YOU NOT YOUR DAMN RADIO!!!!!!
