Hi Ben, I’m Cam from Ontario. This is great. Thanks so much. I just subscribed. You have a smooth, not to much talk vid that suits me. Thanks again.

Great lesson there. Wire or thread tying definitely sounds like it would make the best looking jig & the longest lasting jig. I appreciate you showing closeups & sharing your tips with us. Thanks!

Excellent video! And I really like the trigger style vice!! Good pointers on technique while pointing out the benefits of each step. Plan to do more of these over the winter to tweak some designs, plus concentrating getting my soft plastics that I make to match up to specific jigs. But I’ve only used the stock banded skirts in the past, so adding hand tied skirts will really up the quality! Thanks for the pointers!!

I make my own jigs but I never wire tie them I’m definitely going to have to try to do this might take a couple of times before I get used to it but that’s the part about bait making awesome video Ben

Man Ben, good looking jigs! I tie a lot of flies for trout out here in Reno NV -might have to get into these jigs for bass fishing when back home in Missouri. Thanks for the lesson.

Current that living rubber looks so satisfying 😂 awesome video man🤙 I have been tying with fly tying materials but I am definitely using wire after watching this.

Ben, This was the most simplest & easiest ways to tie a jig. I've seen guys use braid on a spool then wrap it 8x then tie a knot. I think this is the best way so far. 2 wraps with the wire, 8 twist to tightened it, cut off the and your sown!!!!! Now I just got to get me a vice and that #26 wire and I will try this way. I do tie some of my jigs. Stay Safe & God Bless!!

Rad video sir. I have been wanting to tie my own skirts. Here in Arizona the bands will melt if left in the car overnight or a few hours in the middle the day during the summer. I also want to pick the colors I want. Thank you for the info.

Thanks Ben. Now I don't need to reload my jigs after fishing - these looked great and hopefully will last longer than store bought ones.

Yes and it’s a great way, once you find a few colors you like, to really customize and narrow down your jig selection

@TheMjnorthcut 2 жыл бұрын

You may want to look into aviation safety wire pliers. They take just a little practice but twist the wire and cut with one tool and save your finger tips while getting the tightest twist. I promise they are worth the cost

Just started making my own finesse jigs cause I’ve not found anything I like. I think I’ve nailed it. Last few weeks throwing the jig I’ve done very well. Even won a local tournament on it yesterday.

Yes that’s what I have done too. Really been dialing in specific heads and components because I couldn’t find that “perfect” combo already on the market

@erichthompson1194 2 жыл бұрын

Since I don't have a vice or many materials, I just make my own skirts and use one of the pre-made silicone bands. Once it's on a jig, I'll just hand tie some old braid around the top of the collar and it basically allows all of the benefits of a true wire-tied jig. I'd love to see more jig making videos!

That’s a great way to do it. Tying it your way holds it in place rock solid too! That’s not going anywhere :-)

Can you do a video on making those jigs with the weed guard ? I'm getting way to into this and slowly making a list of stuff to get from do-it haha

I also get all my skirts from fishing skirts They have pretty decent prices but I am trying to get some living rubber

@manifestgtr Жыл бұрын

Another way to do this is to tie it (like a fly)…I keep all my jig tying and fly tying stuff in the same place. You can actually be even more precise about placement with a few wraps of thread, adjust, tighten…add another color, adjust, tighten…repeat. I have a few patterns that are 4-5 colors and I have to imagine it would be a lot tougher to get them to fade correctly if I wasn’t tying them. The nice thing is that vices, bobbins and threads are cheaper than ever…you can buy a whole setup for less than $50 to start off then upgrade to something like a regal or renzetti if you find that it’s something you really like to do.

Can you do a video pouring and painting the arkie jig, maybe talk about what hook you use, weedguards, rod reel & line for different scenarios?

@BaitMakingChannel 2 жыл бұрын

Yes - this would be a really cool video to make. I can do this

@Bassackwardscustoms Жыл бұрын

Do you mind if I ask what hook you are usuing in the weedless sparkie jig?? It looks like you are usuing a different hook than what the mold calls for, (eagle claw 410) I am super interested as I'm not a fan of the 410......thank you. I saw you on my buddy Sean's live stream Reel Northern Bass....you were awesome, hope to see you do it again!!

Great Info... Been doing it for years. Also, Most of the Factory skirt collars have a bad reaction to your jig trailers ! So, Get rid of all those lousy rubber skirt collars !

What jigheads are you using? Never had a skirt fall off the skirt holder, or the rubber legs/band break off

Where do you buy the 26G wire at. Walmart did carry green but now just silver and some ugly ass color. We did make all our jigs about 15 years ago. DEVORCE made me quit a lot of things. Now I'm fishing with my son and enjoying it better then ever.

I got mine from Michaels Craft Store in the bracelet making aisle. I’m glad you’re back in the sport, and with your son which makes it even better

Wenn du schon einen Bindestock benutzt, dann nimm doch einen Bobbin um deine Skirtlegs und Livingrubber einzubinden, da kannst du noch viel präziser und genauer arbeiten. Deine Muster würden noch viel schöner aussehen.
