Hi all I'm planning on purchasing a new vice. I have never used a Rotary Vice and was wondering what you guy and gals might use. I would be interested in a used rotary for a starter if anybody has one for sale. I've been tying for many years. I'm moving to the UP of Michigan to retire in April and just fish and hunt and just enjoy live...... (plan on tying allot of new flies.
Ok, my wife asked me what I want for our anniversary next month, and I want to learn to tie jigs, and some flys for gills.Other than a vise, what basic tools would I need to get started tying these with?
Here is the most effective blue gill rig I've ever used. It has a slow sink rate and the bluegill hit it hard. Very effective in shallow water. I guess they think its a grass shrimp. The exude nymph in moss green/pearl color is made by Mr. Twister. The only tying required is the size 10 Gamakatsu keel balance hook to your tippet. The thin wire hook makes it easy to extract both from the bluegill and any vegetation.MY%20FAVORITE%20BLUEGILL%20RIG.jpg
Very cool pattern. Will surely try to make up a few of these little babies once I find out where I can obtain some of the hardware. Sculpit heads ect. Thanks for sharing. Bob
Thanks for the info Hugh. Ordered that just a few days ago, along with a few items that Jeffrey had pointed out to be hot items. Will be arriving just in time for my next outing with my in-laws next week.
HAVEN'T TRIED THESE YET. LOOK GREAT FOR TROUT. THE 1/32 TROUT MAGNET IN BLACK AND CHARTREUSE HAVE BEEN KILLER ON BIG BLUEGILL AND CRAPPIE THIS SPRING. WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS, PUT ON A 1" GULP MINNOW IN SMELT COLOR. NEVER FAILS.
I've used similar, but could not land gill. Bass and trout, but not gill.
the little orange jig in the middle is a 1/100th on a #12 hook
