Hi Derek. Thanks for your feedback on my channel. I am so happy and honored to hear that my videos have inspired you to come back into this wonderful world of angling. Also thrilled to hear that you are working your way out of depression. It's hard to loose a loved family member, and it takes time to find your own path again. Being out on the water doing what you love is a great way to recover. Tight lines to you, Derek... and keep the good vibes rolling. All the best to you. Cheers, Michael
Wow, congrats to both of you guys in this experience. I believe FULFILLMENT is what I am seeing on both sides. So cool! Tight lines and happy trails fellas!
Really great video. I was watching this to see the end knot and it was so fast I couldn’t see it. Enjoyed the music and method of stacking hair though. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it, Ross. In the bar below the video you can click on settings. In there you can slow me down to 0.25 (4 times slower). Hope that will help you out, on that whip finish knot. Cheers, Michael :0)

Hi Dan, Good to hear you are having succes with the Bucktail Jig. I'm really looking forward to spring as well. It's a fabulous time to be on the water - with fishing opportunities improving day by day. Tight lines, Michael :0)
Truth brother! Beautiful jig Michael 👍 The link was awesome too, love that muddler jig, caught my biggest pike on a similar jig. All your ties and tips are tops. I have a set of parralel jaw pliers that I pinch the sides of round jig heads (works best on the softer lead alloys) to flatten and roughens the sides. Makes super gluing those doll eyes with the moving pupils easier. They rattle a little and if a large size eye is used they help keep the jig from rolling on it's side if you let it rest on the bottom. But my favorite jig heads are those tapered wedge shaped called walleye heads. "Do It" makes molds for that style as well as many more styles. (you could spend a lifetime experimenting!) I think they swim nicely for a latteral rod sweep retrieve I like to use. Thanks again Michael, you are a true fisherman!
Thanks a freaking lot for your kind words, Joe. And for the great tip on using the pliers for flattening the heads slightly. The ones I use in this video haven't any lead in the alloy - so they are pretty hard to shape without heat. But it sure would be useful on a softer material. And you are right... so many jigheads... and so little time ;0) I have finished shooting 5 additional jigtying sbs, that will be sprinkled out on the channel in the coming months between the flies and other fishy stuff - all of them with underwater swimming action clips. All the best my friend :0)
Love the music at the very beginning of the vid right after u was talking ….. who is the artist of that there beat….. it was groovy but u didn’t play it long….. lol nice jig too I’m trying to learn to tie so I’m subscribed to check u out…. Thanks
Hi Gustavo. White bucktail under the hook. Over that lavender and olive bucktail. You can find a material description in the text below the video. Cheers, Michael :0)
Very Nice color, tried following the layering of the different colors. Real quick does it much matter which goes top middle of shank and left or right of shank or bottom of shank? I love this color
Trout tears them up, i use a nice little size a 1/24 oz. or a 1/32oz. sometime i do catch about 25---35 trout a day. Other times i catch nice size crappies with them as well
Thanks buddy. It's called Crystal Flash. You can find a complete material list in the text below the video. Including a shopping link. I guess your local tackle shop will have this stuff as well. Tight lines, Michael :0)
Excellent Thank you. I’ve been a custom rod builder for some time which is very satisfying but icing on the aquatic cake enticing fish with your own custom jigs.
Michael, do you have suggestions for vices. I mainly am tying Bucktail jigs so 360 rotation and parallel is a must. Not looking to break the bank, just functional. All I care about is 360, ability to lock at all degrees. Any suggestions?
Hi C S. I am not the best person to give advice on that i guess, since I have only used two vises for all of my life. One being a Danish produced vise, that is long out of production. The other, and the vise I use for everything today, is my Regal. It is perfect for what I do - all kinds of jig- and fly tying. But it is not really a rotary vise. Check out this link, that might help you out. Cheers, Michael anchorfly.com/best-fly-tying-vise/
@@MichaelJensensAngling Is it the regal Medallion? I watched this video obviously and the one you are using is what i want. it rotates, but not a true rotary, that's just fine. By biggest concern is the ability to flip the jig over without have to remove it from the jaw.
Thanks. Well, it depends on the condition. When sea bass are hunting, as you already know, they aren't picky about the size of the lure. I fished from float tubes and kayak and used 1/2 oz and 5/8 oz heads, both on a 2/0 hook. If you fish from the beach, you might need a heavier head, say 1 oz. So it boils down to: how long casts do you need to make?
@@MichaelJensensAngling i fish mainly shallow water up to 10 feet off rocks and sandy estuaries and between rock roynes so im thinking 7, 12 and 15grm jigs with 2/0 to 4/0 hooks ?
What is the tool called that is holding your jig head as you add the skirt? Where can I purchase one? I am just learning to create my own lures to use in Lakes.
Hi Cindy. Welcome to the jig tying world. The tool is called a fly tying vice. You can find it in most tackle shops, or on Amazon and other markets. They come in every price range, and for jig tying there's no need to spend a lot of bucks on an expensive vice. Most vices will do fine for that. Cheers, Michael :0)
Couple things I'd do differently... Don't put the flash low like that to start, makes it more difficult to tip your jig with plastic or pork if you decide to do so later. Also, use thin super glue to seal your thread wraps. It penetrates so much better than uv glue. Then use uv as a finish for the wraps.
David, I honestly don't think the brand matters much, as long as you make sure it is a gel type super glue. I use whatever i got handy. Cheers, Michael :0)
Was für eine größe des Jigkopf ist es ? Ist es ein 2/0 oder 3/0 Schenkel länge,dies wäre super lieb von dir wenn dus in deiner Material Liste am Anfang des Clips immer einblendest.
Nice video. What Vice are you using? I'm looking up reviews now to try to find one but am finding a lot of negative reviews on the ones I am seeing saying they dont hold up.
Thanks Rosario, The vice I use on this video is a cheap no name product. Kind of a Regal rip-off I guess. My other vice is an old out of production danish vise. Both works great for my need.To be honest though I haven't got experience with many of the brands that are currently available, so I really can't give you solid advice on that. Hope you find a great product. All the best, Michael :0)
Thank you for the tutorial. I went today to buy the uv resin and uv light and the guy at the store told me not to use it on jig heads, as it would separate from metal. Is this true to your knowledge or after using the jig?
Thanks a lot for your response. I use Loon UV Resin on this jig. It holds up ok, but if i bang the jighead into concrete structures like bridges, jetties a eye might work loose. If that happens i just glue another one in place or remove the eye on the other side. The eyes aren't rock solid fastened, but they make do. Tight lines, Michael :0)

Hi, I use Loon UV Resin. You can use regular fly varnish instead. I often do that, when I don't need the jigs to dry up in a hurry. Tight lines, Michael :0)
Is this real buck tail hair or synthetic? Obviously the glitter stuff is fake but the rest looks real.
Hi Lucas. The glitter stuff is crystal flash, and the rest is real bucktail hair. You can find the pattern in the text below the video ;) Cheers, Michael :0)
how do you tie the knot at the end?
David, if you mean the knot, that finishes of the jig, it's called a whip finish. Here's an instruction for that:ruclips.net/video/_Evnf99pLPY/видео.html

Michael Jensen thank you!
@@yangstahboi2 You're welcome :0)
What sort of hair is it and where is it available?
Find product links in the description. Cheers Michael :0)
What kind of heater/dryer is that you're using?
Hi Marcus, I am using the standard UV-light flashlight pen, that comes with the Loon UV-curing resin.
Why does my thread keep breaking after couple turns? First timer here.
Hi Peter, if your thread seems perfectly good, I guess it might be your bobbin (thread holder) that has some sharp edges. You can smooth out the mouth area of the tube by pulling a piece of wool yarn with some toothpaste on through the bobbin. Hope that solves the problem. All the best, Michael :0)
What kind of resin are you using? Does it bond to metal?
Hi, sorry bout the slow answer. I've been offline for some weeks - in remote fishing areas, where getting internet wasn't really an option ;0) I use Loon UV Resin. It holds up ok, but if i bang the jighead into concrete structures like bridges, jetties a eye might work loose. If that happens i just glue another one in place or remove the eye on the other side. The eyes aren't rock solid fastened, but they make do. Tight lines, Michael :0)
I've read in quite a few places that Duco Cement works best, and does chemically bond to metal. Haven't tried it yet myself though, as I ordered a lot of jig heads with eyes painted on recently.
Cool info. Might give it a try. Problem with some of the super glues are though... that they can discolor the eyes :0)
Great video! You should talk through each step while doing it to make it even better.
Thanks for your feedback, Steve. I've done just that in all my latest vidos, probably starting shortly after this one was produced. Check out this video. ruclips.net/video/tgrmDz35Gkc/видео.html

A guy around here used to make ONEIDA LAKE SANDPIKE JIGS but he's long gone. The guys that make them now around here aren't as talented or something. .
I'm pretty sure some local tier can wrap up some cool jigs for you. Hope you find one :0)
Real Ez tree service try fresh run fishing. They make a great sandpike.
That's so simple. And BOOM they charge us 15 bucks a jig 🤣🤣
Yep. Easy peasy... and super effective. Cheers, Michael :0)
Sell me a few?
Sorry buddy, I just tie for my own use :0)
Wtf is a dig?
I haven't got the foggiest idea, Angelos. You tell me!
@@MichaelJensensAngling lol
How do you set your thread after youre done? I seen you made some kind of loop.
