There are reasons for all of them and mostly a personal preference especially when dealing with Crappie! Like deathb4disco said fish with teeth and more aggressive and tougher fish hair will hold up much better. However feather will work well on all of them, just some fish will tear the jig up faster! I like feathers due to better action, especially Marabou. It’s also necessary to remove the hook more careful using the materials we use to tie with, never pinch with hemostats anything except the hook!

Also should say soft plastics work on all of them, but you do have to change out the soft plastic regularly!

After all we are on a Crappie site here!
