Hello I was wondering how to start tying my own jigs? I s there a book on this subject? Or does anybody know of a web site that gives good instuctions with pictures to help me learn?
I've tried tying a few with mixed results and now have some questions. When using maribu do you wrap it around or trim it and tie it without wrapping it. Whats a Palomar wrap? Any other help will be most helpful! Thankyou

Hey, I sent you a PM. But you live sort of closer to me then alot of the rest. LOL. But we have montly tying meetings, and am planning a weekend tying gettogether in Montesano in Feb (I know, long drive for you). But can help you one on one. Or if you get in the Tacoma area, would be glad to teach you. But sent you a link that'll help you out.

If you want to learn how to tie jigs using solid brass beads instead of lead, I have a section on my website with pictures showing how. It is located on the How-To-Tips page.
