I like the kip tail a lot as well. Holds a nice shape in the water.

Pretty much all my materials were gifted to me by a couple of forum members. Thanks guys!
I am on a tight budget and am working with I materials I have for now. Really looking forward to getting ahead a bit so I can Start ordering some of the things I really like.
The simple fiber jigs work really good around here when you have the big bluegill and crappie moving into the same areas for spawn. They are not my favorites either but they sure do catch a lot of fish.
Your welcome!
Just know some of this stuff is not cheap, but some of the good stuff is pretty low cost. Example of that is the Copenhagen Blue chenille, it's Rayon and sells on the lower end of prices and the crappie really love that stuff!

Here is the Copenhagen Blue on these jigs I tied for a guy here. When you tie with Rayon just know it has a direction and you need to tie it in from the correct end. You can gently run it through between your finger and thumb and on way it will feel smooth and other way lightly rough and the rough end is the one you want to tie in! Other wise it will look a bit strange and not like these.
