I'm sure the guys at Ted's will give you great advice.Be very careful of the jig heads/hooks you buy. Most of the ones available for attractive prices are made for warm water fish and are made very weak. They will not stand up to steelheadd/salmon.X-strong Owner/Gami/others cost more but will make you happy.
over the past few years i have been incorporating jigs in my fishing for steelhead/salmon, and was thinking about tying some for my self. i looked around the fishing section at cabelas but didn't buy anything figuring id ask on here what i should be looking for. so what basic starter equipment should i be looking for? im assuming jig heads, vice, thread, marabu, etc. and what should i be looking at price wise. i'll probbably head into teds in lynnwood sometime this week and talk to them, i just wanted to know what im getting my self into.thanks
I went to walmart and bought some jig hooks in 16ths, 32nds and 64ths. you can repaint them if you want . then put on mylar, marabou, etc. really easy. also scent them if legal. mike w
