You'll learn a ton. You'll find that less is often more, both to built in jig action, and action that you put forth.

Im excited. Another you to play with and one the wife actually signed off on cause she’s tired of not catching fish. Atleast now I can show her the fish are there, and it’s not my fault they ain’t biting.

I like bucktail jigs but not for crappie. I'd use kip, fox, raccoon or other soft tailed hairs or feathers!! But bass or bigger I'll tie bucktails. Years ago people gave up on hair jigs of any kind but smart ones kept fishing them and catching.

Sounds like I’ve got to broaden my arsenal of materials. I honestly don’t know how I settled on trying bucktail as my first jig material. I think I watched a YouTube video. I didn’t know there were so many different types of hair used
