Thanks guys.
I use that thread cause that's what I've always used and was taught with.
I don't pour my own jigs, I have one guy I trade plugs with he pours em and has a ton of different sizes, styles and colors.
I also get them from another guy on this site.
I usually get unpainted jigs so I can tie whatever color I want, then if I want I'll paint the head or just leave it silver.
For sealer I use super glue while tying then hard as nails on the finished threads or epoxy.
Usually while I'm tying I add a few drops of super glue or hard as nails to keep it in place. Then keep wrapping and build up thread and hair and glue.
It may not be the best system but it works for me and the jigs last, have a few that are three years old.
I've tried other threads but stick with that one.
The vise is a dyna vise. Heavy base, it's one of the cheapier models like 100 bucks.

Those are some nice looking jigs! It must be winter boredom to tie all those colors  |

Very nice! I always say I will fish different colored bucktails each year, I tie up some differnet colors, and end up throwing solid white 100% of the time. Now I have a pile of different color ones that never see the of light of day.  |

White, day and night! Even thought I have some pretty ones that I pack and don't end up using. I hear you though Chris it's nice to have some pretty ones especially if your tying them yourself. They look great! |

Yeah man it is, I have a list of winter projects and chip away at them while I'm not working.
I have various projects at all different steps to help pass the winter months.
