Jig fishing

[CrappiePappy]

This is some great information. Crappie Pappy- what kind of weedless jigs do u get or do u make your own?

I have mine custom made by a member ... Grousefly (Paul Mullins / P&S Custom Tackle)

I use two different ones - fiber brush style and the Y-guard style :


Pictured above at top is the brush style, and underneath is the Y guard style. These are both 1/16oz ballhead jigs with a #2 gold Aberdeen hook. My preference is the Y guard style, but the 2+ pound Crappie that I'm holding in my avatar pic was caught on the brush style weedless jig, as you may be able to see in this picture (the white streak above the fish's mouth is the fibers of the brush weedguard) :




You can contact Grousefly by PM for discussion on sizes, colors, and styles of his weedless jigs, hooks, or weedguards ... and the price rates, and Crappie.com member discount.

There are other members that make/sell jigheads, but I'm not sure if they offer the Y guard style weedguard. I started with Grousefly, got him started making the Y guard style for me, and have stayed with him.
