Super nice, where (if it isn't a secret) do you find these jigs?

The hooks are sticky sharp. The finish is fairly durable and they make small sizes easy to throw like 1/64th.

Hi @Scottp I vaguely remember you doing a SBS, tutorial or just explaining how you tie in your muddler heads. I think you do it in a way where you dont have to trim this, am I remembering correctly?

I found this one on the old WFF site. Borrowed Ryan Houston’s technique; he usually leaves his as-is but mine never turn out as good and I have to do a little trimming. I don’t tie all my muddlers like that any more but it’s still my favorite.

First attempts at tying. The bottom two were from a kit I got and the top was just modifying the materials a bit. I only have pink and black thread so need to get some more.

You could also use white thread and color it
Is that body tubing?

Yes I just need to buy some white thread! It is yeah, I think a subtle amount seems okay not the two inches suggested.

Beauties! I really like the second and third one. Do you not tie with dubbing or deer hair?? That is the cleanest vise I’ve seen in a while from someone that ties regularly.

FFS those are great first flys! My first were squirmy wormies out of shear annoyance the outfitter wouldn’t carry them. Your first wins

Thanks! I’m kind of a neat freak and will vacuum the jaws along with everything
