Episode 210 - What have we become ; )

About this episode

The episode discusses the rise of the fly jig in fishing, its implications for non-jig head fly tyers, and the current state of Bucktails in the market.

On this episode folks... we have a look at the uprising of the fly jig, and what observations we as non jig head fly tyers can take away from the success of this thing that is sweeping the Murray Cod and Barramundi scene. We know you are going to want to have your say... let those thoughts fly in the comments, we are keen to gauge how this sits with you. We also for the second time explain why for the past 4-5 years why you havent seen Bucktails like we used to, and why it is so expensive now. Who likes skiff renovations ? If you do.. we talk about an Instagram boat build page that diarises the whole process We also raise the idea of a "don't piss on us and tell us its raining" Fly tying page that is dedicated to Fly Tying for Fly fishing. We need your help and participation.. seriously. This show is proudly presented by Power Pole, Beast Brushes, Kettafly, Nervous Water and Flats Craft
