Nice jig. I do something close to that. You said you use a water based enamel for your heads. If I may, what brand do you use to airbrush with or are you just brushing it on? Thank you and have a Happy Holiday. Ole

Can u fish the single colored jigs without putting a bait on them for a tip? I live on guntersville lake and we use a jig similar but it's a ball head with just one color and ive just got my vice etc and wonder if I need to tie it with just one strand or make the v with the same color hair?

Merry Christmas hope to see many of your videos in the upcoming year

Merry Christmas and hopefully a great New Year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!!

Nice looking jig. I don’t think it will be very durable

Time moves on Jay, lol I’m still tying with materials from Universal Vise Corp. only because I bought way back when, mostly chenilles, not because I was thinking of the future but the colors I used, white, pink, red and chartreuse were cheap back then so I loaded up(thankfully)and still using them today. Thanks for the entertainment. Always inspiring.

TMI that's funny, keep entertaining us, i enjoy your commemorating.

Happy Holidays! 🎄 to you and your family Jay.Work is getting in the way of my fishing.My favorite time in my home dtate of Maryland is just around the corner.Late winter yellow perch and trout fishing.Come March white perch and shad fishing.I really enjoy tying jigs on cold winter days.Stay safe and tight lines.Always enjoy the master at work.

Love seeing you tying smaller ice fishing jigs! Love to see more!

I’d like to know if there a difference between the salt and borax with how oily they are after you let them sit a month. Is it more so the borax that you have to let sit an extra week or salt?

Great jig, I’m wondering could you substitute pheasant tail for the turkey?

You ever glue fancy eyes 👀 on the jigs?

Just placed an order Jay. Can’t wait to get out on the ice, got about 4-5 inches up here already. Thanks for the videos

Jay that’s awesome like that one a lot.

Jay please exscuse my ignorance when I ask you this. I dont ice fish for good reasons...we dont have ice bit I have always wondered why ice fisherman use extrmely small jigs. When you guys ice fish will they not hit lets say like a 1/16 or even a 1/8 ounce. I use micro hand tied jigs that I make myself for realky oressured crappie or lets say when a severe front comes through and the fish are finicky. I always see you and other ice fisherman tie these really small patterns and wonder why you guys use smaller jigs or should I say smaller profiles. My common sense tells me that in really cold water fish are really lethargic and do not want a big bait or their metabolism is slow due to the colder temps and they prefere small insect profiles. Can you explain why ice fisherman use micro jigs. I have always wondered. Thanks for listening and again please exscuse my ignorance when it comes to ice fishing topics.

What kind of jig vice is that? Never seen one like that.

Love to see more of your favorite ice fishing jigs!

Thanks! Micro jigs are my personal favorites.

Really nice pattern Jay. Really like this one. Although we don't have hard water in Alabama this pattern would probably worl really well on bluegill. I will have to tie a few of these up. Thanks for sharing.

I got

Copper crystal flash would go well on that jig. Awesome tie.

Awesome jig. Would love to see how you paint that head.

Would really like to see more perch jig videos. Do you make any in 1/64 oz? Thanks Jay! Enjoy your videos.

By the way Jay....it looks like an oreo cookie!

You up late tonight Jay. Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely love tying and learned a lot from you. Watching this video about the Universal ll really intrigued me how very simple they are. Got really curious, found one on Ebay and bought it $50!!! And by the way I absolutely like it. Thx for the videos.

Love using Walleye flys! On my list to tie a bunch over the winter!

Jay, my first post didn't take so here goes again. Since I have been a subscriber I have noticed that when you are wrapping your hook shanks on your patterns, you pull out 4-6 inches of line and after your wrap is complete you cut off that line and discard. I know why you do this when you utilize the different color line to make your whip finish but on a fly like this where you actually use the whip finishing tool you still discard that 4-6 inches of line. I know you have boxes and years worth of thread but becauae I am so frugal and with the way every thing is getting so expensive I don't have that tag line to cut. It basically ends up under my thread wraps. I know you are frugal like me and was just wondering why you have that much thread waste when using a whip finishing tool. I understand why you do it when you use the looped line method when finishing your knots on your jigs. I always try and figure out ways to make my materials last as long as they can because I am cheap! Anyway, love this pattern....I guess you could scale this pattern down and use it for trout as well. I like the profile of this pattern. Cold down here in Alabama. We had our first good frost Thursday morning. Leaves are starting to get color on them as well. My favorite time of the year!

A+ Music choice . Thank you for the none elevator music version .

Regal vice with the monster jaw. Has held up for thousands of jigs. Think it's about 9yr old. Still like new no parts needed and it's very fast with notches for heavier hooks. You won't ever get another vice. Well nice work!

Love this vice. I purchased the universal 2 from your website for a spare , along with some jigs. I wanted to buy some unpainted Barumba jig heads but I didn’t see an option for that. If you sell them, I would love to add some to the order, if not too late. I couldn’t find any contact info on your website.

Great video. Tons of great information on the U2. I have two of these vises and I don't think McMaster Carr has those shim washer that you use. They do have the shim washers for the fly wheel side. I been searching for sometime now.

Jay.....wish you were my neighbor. You could come over and use my bead blaster. I have different grits but it would make short work of that rust. I would love to get your bench vise in the blaster and get it cleaned up and repainted. That is a good table vise. Looks like an older version. A lot of these newer vises are made from pot medal and are junk. I have both of my father's bench vises which were fabricated back in the 30's and they are tanks. I restored both of them after dad passed away and they look brand new.

Always enjoy seeing new ice fishing jigs to tie

Glad I found your channel. This is what I want to try and tie. Great way you explain how to create this basic mini bucktail jig.

Awesome set up Jay I like it looks like a comfortable set up I like the way you set up the fishing line with the fishing rod guides thanks for sharing your table set up.

This made me happy! My morning coffee and Jay. Thanks for sharing.

Jay....those isn't your work space.....it is a museum! Lots of history sitting right there. Especially like your dad's bench.....if it could only talk.....thanks for sharing. I only have 3 vises. Of course I haven't been in the fly/jig tying world as long as you and your family have been.

Just another note, I love to see closer look at your dad's Universal prototype tying vise.!

Jay, great video!! I also enjoy seeing other tiers bench set ups. Many of my mentors have been tying for 40-50 yrs. Each one of them has a slightly different set up depending on the style of fly they like to tye or specialize in. It is really interesting to the evolution of a tiers bench over time. My bench has gone through several major changes since I started tying. Even my tools have changed. Most of time there is always something I pick up and try to incorporate into my bench to help with the flow.

Very interested in some ice fishing jigs to start tying for the ice fishing season soon to start

Can I ask you what type of visa are you using

Love seeing the picture of your Dad in front of that 41foot trailer that was your parent's first home.

Thanks for more ice fishing jig ideas!!

Jay very interesting video with regards to threads and usage--I'll try to be brief however your referencing thread usage leans more towards your production needs and the molds that you use. For us newbies weekend warrior old school guys that have numerous molds and material our usage tends to be broader and more detailed. Consequently the comparisons intersect somewhat but all tips techniques shortcuts are very appreciated that' why we watch however everyone has their own approach and have so many different lures. Apologize for the verbage THANK YOU again and also Thank You for the opportunity to purchas the UNIVERSAL 2 very cool vise, also notice the PEAK LIRS 3 MIA. TAKE CARE BE SAFE BE GRATEFUL BE HEALTHY.

Loved this video with the ice fishing theme! Love to see more ice fishing jigs if possible winter is not to far away

Ooh I like that pattern! Nice! I'm going to try that on my pike jigs.

Thanks Jay always enjoy watching and you are very informative with this thread video 👍
