Renovations!!!!!

New jig storage until i can get some DIY jig boxes



Tool rack (bodkin and threader are hidden in spools of thread (sorry no JC sticker)



Rubber legged jig. (old chatterbait skirt rubber)



Rubber tail jig



Dry Flies (turkey feather works good as legs)

I liked renovating the desk. now everything is bagged and organized.

I sure like that Barred Chartreuse hackle feather! Mind telling me where you got it? I tried to get some from Barlow's but they were out of stock, which cost me an extra $2 "Small Order" fee! GRRR!!

You have a nice tying station started, keep up the tying.

I know you are a recent convert to jig tying. I also know you have a limited budget to spend doing this (who doesn't?).Your doing a good job. May I suggest you do what I and many others did when we started. Use finger nail polish to color your heads. Ask your mom if she has some she don't use anymore. After you add the eyes you cover the head with epoxy. I still have a few bottles of nail polish I use because I haven't found a powder paint I like in that color.

Hey ridge, i coat the eyes with sally hansen. I dont use NP because i heard somewhere that fish can smell it. Also for some reson i like unpainted heads. i know, call me crazy.

Your not crazy, I like plain heads as well. I normally add eyes and a clear coat or uv epoxy seal.

my eyes dont stick well, so i dab some sally hansens and coat with that. i dont like doing that cuz its too time consuming.
