What is "Custom" Tying?

From the beginning, Aaron’s Custom Tying operated in support of a singular mission, to get fisherman and women exactly what they want. Anyone can walk into a tackle shop and see a wall of colors, options, sizes. But nothing that is “just right.” It may seem picky or pretentious, but when you take the sport seriously, and have limited time to get out on the water or ice, it’s certainly justified! Give every trip the best possible chance for success, no matter what. I saw this need in my own fishing, there was always something about store-bought jigs that left something to be desired. When I started tying my own stuff and catching more fish, I realized this was a niche worth exploring.


My website has numerous unique jigs that can be customized, hence the name. Some of my more complex jigs have 5 different color options the customer can select, meaning there are over 25,000 variants! I can say with confidence that the variant you choose likely will never have been seen by the fish in your local waters. The intrigue alone will get them to bite!


Now, how does this work behind the scenes? There’s only one way, I hand-tie each and every order as it is placed. It is always cool to see what my customers dream up as their own custom color scheme on jigs like the Tungsten Wiggler or the Fuzz Bug. Some look so good that I tie a duplicate for my personal jig box right away!


Now this certainly isn’t the most efficient way of running a small business, but that hasn’t been my mission anyways. I strive to always serve the customer, and their needs, first. Whatever the demanding angler needs, I am happy to provide to the best of my ability, with quality and durability in mind. So, check out my store and let your imagination run wild with some of my models. I look forward to taking your vision and

bringing it to life on my tying vise.
