wayne offord 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 I am looking to get into tying buck tail jigs, is there a master out there that could share a video. There are some I found through google, but nothing like the incredibly detailed fly tying videos some of you guys have produced. I want to make the best possible as soon as possible.

tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 I've likely tied several thousand of them, but never did a video. They're not difficult to tie if you've done any tying at all. There are details that IMO make a bucktail jig better than simply lashing hair to the jig, but still tying them is basic. Be glad to pass along any help I can give you!

Guest Report post Posted May 16, 2015 I tie a a lot of them but don't do video's but a buddy of mine has several on youtube - they are good and will show you how to make sure the bucktail (or if you decided to try craft fur) stays on and doesn't pull out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5ewaCNSZVk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayne offord 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 I have been tying jigs for the last few weeks, bucktail and marabou - 1oz to 1/16 oz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayWirth 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 I would be happy to chat with anyone who wanted to tie jigs. Im a second generation tyer - learned when I was about 12 and have been tying for fun and profit ever since. In central NY I get orders from the smallest panfish jig to larger sizes for walleye and pike. These picts are a family special - 1/2 Barumba Head. You can also find a great group at jigcraft.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Fly Bob 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2015 There is even a jig you can tie to fly fish with. It is a 1/16 oz. jig on a 5/0 hook. I fish them quite a bit for bass and they don't cast with any more problem than flies with the heavier cone heads. They are made by H2o and I think they are for salt water with plastics. Here is a picture of a few. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
