Cast 200 Smilin Bills today. 4 OZ. Going to tie a whole bunch with bucktail and also use some with a Curltail. I also made a few 5 OZ ones too. Next time I'll make 300 , 3OZ balls. 200 , 2 OZ and 200 5 OZ and I should be ready for the season except for skin jigs ( lots of guys feeding off this pile of jigs , not just me). Got to paint a bunch. I just dip them in white rustoleum. Got a bunch of bucktails from Tim so I'm ready to roll. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes to tie one with bucktail so thats the hard part.I usually tie on 4 bundles , one on each side sort of spreading it around the jig . These big ones will probably take 6 bundles and take longer. But since a good price on a 4 oz Smilin Bill Bucktail is $4 and many places get over $5, Making them for a buck is definitely time well spent and you know you get a good jig that way .

Your gonna make a lot of freinds with all those jigs Saltheart!

Great way to kill this damned snowy winter.

Have fun,

That's alot of jigs Saltheart, Good thing you enjoy doing it. Nice going I guess at 10-15 min. that's alot of time invested. I guess you pretty much fill up your free time if you can't be fishing you might as well be making lures or jigs. I just try to build up some points during the off season so I will be able to maybe take one or two weekend fishing trips, other than 1-2 times a week. Some day someone will be dredging the canal and have alot of lead to recycle.
