Brett herl is used in many flies and can be used for the body on smaller jigs, makes a nice looking body. The length of the jig may cause false strikes but the look of jigs are a self preference to the tyer. Never know how a fish may ack to a jig until you put it in places you know hold biting crappie like a brush pile. You will find out quickly if it work
It is a good looking jig, hard to top black/chartreuse.
