I was surfing the web last night, looking for information about feather jigs for bass, when I found this page. It shows BPS Slab Daddy's crappie jigs.

BPS Slab Daddy's Crappie Jigs

Does anyone have an idea of why their tail feathers have the tips removed? I am not trying to criticize it, just wondering if there is a legitimate reason for it that I'm unaware of.

I thought I might ask the seasoned crappie jig tyers of this board. Thank you for your input.
