Assorted hair jigs tied for bass and crappie.
The brown and green ones will likely see a chunk trailer when presented to the bass. Head weights are listed as 1/8 of an ounce on the package. I suspect they weigh closer to 3/16 of an ounce.
The three 1/16-ouncers to the left should expect a float near some smallies and crappie this winter.

Great job with the hair,or crafthair.That stuff has great movement.I caught my second biggest crappie on a crafthair jig.You got it down perfectly.
Really nice work, Pup. Never tried the craft hair yet, probably put it on my "to do "list
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
Man they look good!
Okay, I have to ask, how did you get the flair on them? The only way I know to do it is to tie the hair in backwards and then lay it back and tie over it. To me it looks like those are tied on a bulbed collar jig.
BTW, do you have a link for this craft fur? I can not find it at my local Wally World and there is not a craft store for 40 miles. Figure I might as well add it to my arsenal and maybe I will finally get a crappier out my local lakes.
I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

Nice ties!!! Are you using flair collared jig heads???

Thanks for the kind words Guys.
I tied them on collared jig heads. I've done nothing to the heads other than paint and coat them. Only the 1/16-ouncers have their barbs removed.
I purchase much of my craft fur from Hancock and Jo-Ann Fabrics. Have been tying hair jigs for about 6 years now and have a pretty good eye for it in these stores.
I purchased a lot of craft fur from a supplier in FL when I began tying hair jigs. I'll see if I can find a link.
The olive-colored jigs are tied primarily with Polar Fiber. I purchased it at Orvis in Carmel, IN.
