Tying a jig for Delaware River Browns

A tiny jig in a pattern called the John Benjamin that is like candy for the big Delaware River Brown Trout. https://youtu.be/qJjta68z0Kc

Nice looking jig. What vice are you using to hold while tying?

Interesting video Jay. Jigs are under-sung as a trout bait around here in SE Minnesota but a few "wise" trout anglers use them effectively.

Im using a Universal Vise Corp Universal 2.  I have been using this one almost daily about 20 years

Very cool video, jig & tying vise! I also have one of those Universal #2 vises, but don't tie on it a lot as I use an old Regal Medallion the most. But those Universal vises are work horses!

I have several old vises, most bought with estate lots of tying supplies. I had planned to sell them, but decided to keep them, for teaching tying classes. Have some older tools too, like Herter's & Chase bobbins. They're all still very useable.  ;D
