Sword Tail Jigs

[JUNGLEJIMJIGS]

Crappie stingers are one of my favorite soft plastics and thought those puff balls with tentacles would be perfect. Unfortunately, trips to three different Dollar Tree stores netted me zero. The last store did have a centipede toy with the rubber I was looking for so I got two colors of those. Tentacles are 1.5 " and really stretch. I tied up some jigs using the tentacles for the tail a couple of days ago and fished them the past two mornings. Didn't tear them up at the city cement pond but the Black crappie sure liked them. Caught a dozen crappie the last two mornings, only one small one. Biggest was 16.5" and weighed 2.67 lbs. These swordtails have better action than regular plastics and with it being summer they work very well. Ordered some glow in the dark puffer balls in six colors, can't wait for them to get here.
