Hi Jim, how're you? I'm a beginner in tying I really appreciate your craft in tying and your videos have helped me big time. Like I said, I'm a new beginner also a new subscriber but I'm always watching and learning a lot from you and want to thank you, keep up the good work. Salute 🫡
Have been tying for only a month, so my work is a bit sloppy but improving. This jig adds a whole new look beyond what I have been doing. Made a few mistakes on my first try but I really like the style and will keep at it. The fish probably don't notice the mistakes.
Your right they don't notice mistakes. If they did , what do you think they see when they look at the bend and point of the hook. LOL Keep at it you'll get good.
I know im randomly asking but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Nicolas Korbyn i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I watched this video then tied a larger white jig head with white marabou, body from mylar tubing, some green flashabu and a yellow hackle. Kind of goofy looking but I caught a nice smallmouth with it the first time I used it. Thanks for these videos.
Could you please make a video on how to tie a snook fly.. Only because your like the best fly tier on UA-cam, no one else makes any since to me but you. O and what's your opinion on TFO
The basics you need are a vice, bobbin holder, hooks and feathers and fur. You can get a fly tying kit from any of the larger outdoors stores. Bass Pro, Cabela's A kit will have everything you need to get started.
Jim Misiura Thanks a bunch Jim! I'm going to call Bass Pro to get a lesson from them to learn how to tie jigs and flies. I lose too many jigs every year trying to catch panfish, about time I learn to tie my own.
So with that u just tie that on your rod and fish or? Cause i found a bunch of jigs with a lot of that feather and string on it was curiuos how to use them
You are either pulling to hard, you have a burr in the bobbin or you have bad thread. if you have kevlar thread cut ten inches put it in bobbin and spin the bobbin, this usually takes care of burrs . You can use dental floss if no kevlar.
good looking jig and I really like the color combination on this one. the thing that always bothers me on your jig tying vids is that you use jigs with collars on them, why dont you get the ballhead jigs made for tying?
I picked these jigs up at Dick's. I didn't see any without the collar. I'll look out for them now. But I don't have any problem tying on them. Thanks for the suggestion.
Jim Misiura its more of a preference thing with the collar, ive never seen them at dicks without but basspro and cabelas both have them in the tying section and a lot of the mom and pop tackle shops have painted jigs without collars. if not you can find them on the net for a lot less than the big stores.
Trying that hackle usage....I was given some assorted turkey feathers... Not any good marabou, but some irredecent colors in what appears to be neck feathers. They have a squared off tip naturally. So this is an experiment. I'm so green with tying I'm just trying things until I actually get good blood quill marabou. Is it possible to split the quill for a large wing feather that has good "barbulls" about 1 1/2" long or would it work better to use those cut off the quill and bunched into a tail?
If you can make a dubbing loop and put the cut off barbels in it I think that would work. Just don't put too many in it. Slicing the feather is not something I would reccommend. The collar of this fly doesn't have to be marabou. Using a soft hackle would be better. The feathers you have are probably turkey flats, (body feathers). They are basicly marabou that didn't grow out.
@@TheFlymanJim thank you for the advice. So the barbels of the wing feather would be better over body shank of hook? But not the collar. These jigs I'm wanting to do are generally for Crappie & Bluegill type lures .... I'm trying to learn in crash course fashion what will work, and what will never work. Lol, I bought a cheap feather boa at hobby store, and that's fallen into the never work category. The feathers might have a tip or two for the whole boa but most have been whacked off. They are bargain basement feathers with many broken or weak quills.... What is good to know is the use of doing the barbels in dubbing method. Do you think I'd need a sparse group in the loop or is that just something I should play with to my eye in how good it looks. And would I fold them back as I wrapped the dubbing loop?
@@genesloan3175 For the body you can use chenille if you have it, if not watch my video on the mini woolybugger. Is how I wrapped the body with the marabou from the tail, (left over). The Boa your talking about is from a Dollar store or such, saw them many times, your right not exactly the best marabou. If you use the dubbing loop go sparse at first, and try to trim the butt ends when you get the material in the loop. Then stroke them back as you wrap. You'll get it right after a couple.
@@TheFlymanJim thanks, getting my real materials list together now. A further question. If I were to use the long wing quill feather barbels in dubbing manner. Would they work with a small wrap of Chenille at or near the bend to form a fan effect over the Chenille bump to be fanned over a nice Marabou tipped tail? These feathers have a nice irredecent pattern I'd like to try to utilize. Hoping to make something of these gift feathers that would be a nice natural bait looking lure. Especially since I was asked to provide the man with example of his gift in a lure for him to display in his office. Surprised me, and I was amazed but told him I'd try to do that.
Hi Jim, how're you?

Glad to help
Wow, that is an amazing jig for crappie. Thank You
Glad you like it!
Awesome video, thanks from a beginner. I am subscribed to learn more from your patterns and how to videos.
Have been tying for only a month, so my work is a bit sloppy but improving. This jig adds a whole new look beyond what I have been doing. Made a few mistakes on my first try but I really like the style and will keep at it. The fish probably don't notice the mistakes.

That was awesome I'm a newbie glad I found you I subscribed for future help keep up the good work peace
Great video!
i gotta pull on my tying kit i bought this was Really Cool !
Thank you for putting out these videos, I have learned a lot from them and I see I have a lot more to learn
I know im randomly asking but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Russell Vicente Instablaster =)
@Nicolas Korbyn i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Nicolas Korbyn It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out!
@Russell Vicente happy to help =)
Easy, and effective!
Love the feather trick, or it was to me! I'm looking to do some myself. Trying to glean some idea whether I can do this.
Nice tutorial, thanks!
Give it a shot it's easier than you might think. Let me know if you need help.
I watched this video then tied a larger white jig head with white marabou, body from mylar tubing, some green flashabu and a yellow hackle. Kind of goofy looking but I caught a nice smallmouth with it the first time I used it. Thanks for these videos.
Using your imagination is what tying is all about. Keep it up and good luck.
Jim Misiura. Jim how much would it cost to have you make me 5 of these orange and white also 5 purple and black ones. Thanks Ian
I really like that jig thanks
Glad you like it
I like this video can you show me some more of those how you hand tie the the Chanel and the in the feathers
Can’t wait to try this one, I seem to have difficulty with finishing everything gets tied up except the fly LOL
You have a thumb fly HUH!
Using red thread to tie a pattern like this simulates a gill. My catches increased noticeably when I started using it.
Good to hear.
Could you please make a video on how to tie a snook fly.. Only because your like the best fly tier on UA-cam, no one else makes any since to me but you. O and what's your opinion on TFO
Where do you buy all of your fly tying gear??
Well done. What's your thoughts on trimming the jig collar off prior to tying? Large nail clippers make short work of jig collars.
if you mean trimming the collar hackle barbels I wouldn't do that I would try to get smaller hackle barbels.
Jim Misiura I think he means some of the lead.
Awesome! What are the basic tools I need to get started on tying flies and jigs? Did it take long for you to learn? Thanks for any advice!
The basics you need are a vice, bobbin holder, hooks and feathers and fur. You can get a fly tying kit from any of the larger outdoors stores. Bass Pro, Cabela's A kit will have everything you need to get started.
Jim Misiura
Thanks a bunch Jim! I'm going to call Bass Pro to get a lesson from them to learn how to tie jigs and flies. I lose too many jigs every year trying to catch panfish, about time I learn to tie my own.
Once you do, check up on page for new and interesting patterns.
Jim Misiura
You betcha Jim! Your flies look awesome and almost good enough to eat!
So with that u just tie that on your rod and fish or? Cause i found a bunch of jigs with a lot of that feather and string on it was curiuos how to use them
I would use this in faster water or bigger rivers where you want it to get deep. you can also uses in lakes, just bounce in along the bottom.
How do you do your wraps so fast? My thread always breaks if I don't do it really slow.
You are either pulling to hard, you have a burr in the bobbin or you have bad thread. if you have kevlar thread cut ten inches put it in bobbin and spin the bobbin, this usually takes care of burrs . You can use dental floss if no kevlar.
I’m new in tying flies. What would you this pattern for?
This can be usedd on a fly rod or light tackle spinning rod. I use this for panfish.
Thanks.

Jim Misiura its more of a preference thing with the collar, ive never seen them at dicks without but basspro and cabelas both have them in the tying section and a lot of the mom and pop tackle shops have painted jigs without collars. if not you can find them on the net for a lot less than the big stores.
+BigMike315Fishing I have yet to find any collarless jigs at bass pro or cabelas. Would love to know where you found them
Anthony Vaughan I found some on eBay.

@@genesloan3175 Your thinking too much into the process. K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid. Not calling you stupid though.
