Kiptail is also called calftail...make a pretty good jig, just takes a bit of practice to get them looking good unless someone gives you all the tricks.Quote:

So do most of you guys fish a slow steady retrieve under a float or something? That's what I do for crappie most of the time. I'm mainly looking for 3-6 inchers for catfish bait...
Also I probably wouldn't want more than a #8 sickle right? Have a few hundred 1/64th and 1/80th on #8 sickles I think they'll be just right.
I use a dark colors like olives, black, and browns. My jigs are usually a 1/80 or 1/100. Fishi it about 15 inches deep on a bobber. Unless their on their beds then its no bobber on 3 lb test.. Which i found though the guy that makes trout and crappie magnets
Some of the better producers over the past year:
