Thread: Squirrel tail anyone?

Those look like they will do the trick.

Mepps....

I knew it was one of them

Those are going to work fine for you. Something you can try while you’re at the vise is downsizing them for shellcracker and bluegill. I use just a little hair and trim it so the whole thing is maybe an inch and a quarter or half. Olive micro chenille and yellow and black get lots of play time for me.

Something like these. Both red and gray squirrel in there and they’re on a #8 hook. And yes, the crappie like em too. Especially the yellows.

Dem are purdy,,,skeet

Love a good hair jig.

One other thing I found, longer isn’t always better. Notice that some of mine short, the bluegill here like em better for some reason.
