Was fishing the Delaware river as kid for rock bass and lost my last jig. So got out hook, split shot and found a feather on shore. Used the split shot to hold the feather on the hook and went back to fishing. Boy did that work well! Wonder if that would work on crappie? Also was thinking of replacing the feather with colored pipe cleaner. Anyone ever tried these on crappie? Those small auger tail plastic jig's I normally use seem to come apart to easy and I end up using just the tail.
