I've tied some hair and marabou jigs. I've thought about 3d printing some cranks. But it'd be more work than it's worth unless the only purpose was for me to make a video about it.

Started tying my own Peanut Flys and tube flies for great lakes fishing this year. Finally got some production of them this past week :dance: :dance:

I have materials & molds to make the old earie dearie style spinner jig things with the slipper nose (not the earie dearie nose). I tried a treble hook on the back and get a lot of hits but few hook-ups. I make them for using as 3/8 oz slip sinkers nowadays...

Bend & make spinners.

Tie flies - dries, nymphs, wets. Best flies I ever made are size 12 hares ear and some kind of size 12 hornberg variation with starling feathers. My dad always liked a wooley bugger about size 10 and black. Fav dry is bivisible with wings.

Mold and tie jigs when necessary.

Mold sinkers.

Been known to whittle a topwater or two, but real ugly. Thankfully the fish never cared.

I have been thinking of making a series of alewife crank baits, shad and Cisco too.
