Giller is gonna be droolin now after this.

We've gotten into gills so thick grown men have whined cause their elbows got sore from rearin on those gills.

I tied up a few of my own,did pretty well on them.Gills and crappies love them.Tried them on ice this past weekend ,caught some Crappies on them.First time I tried a hair jig thru the ice,usually use ice jigs and maggots.
Keith,thank you for all your tips and photos you post.I still plan on ordering a few of your jigs sometime.Thanks again.

Well thankyou Baxter1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad my posts are helping.
For me these forums I belong are truely more of a way to help others get in on more fish.
Yes I sell jigs,heck I can't give them away with all of the time I put into them,but to see a guy tye his own and actually catch fish on them well that is what puts it over the top for me.
The thanks I get is worth way more than a few bucks I'll get for my product.
Just to see a smile from something newly learned is worth it's weight in gold.
If your needing any tips ,just hollar.

It's funny how a few guys at a time come to this way of fishing Baxter1.
I got an email today were the guy said he had enough and couldn't take it anymore seeing all of the pics that I and others are posting with fish and small hair jigs.
There's a method of lifting ,but once you figure that out it's a piece of cake catching those fish and now you can hit them with any size you want because you control that.
Having a flasher will let you see how they react and then you modify until you catch one then it's all over ,but the rearing!!!!
There's not many days that if I can find the fish I'll leave skunked.
I've tasted that animal a few times this winter ,but then you can't catch what is not there.

Early spring is another hot time for those smaller hair jigs.
A hint when making them is too keep the hair close to the end of the hook.
Too long and you'll not get the hook in their mouth when they are light hitting.Your really just tring to cover the hook anything longer can be a detriment to your catching success.

There is a jig army building 1 fisher at a time.
You can help,share what you have learned with a kid.
Now let the hair fly!

Hey Keith, SWEET pics, and yes i Love Big Gills, better then crappie !!!
Have tied my own jigs for the last 4 or 5 years, mostly rabbit for the tail and chennile for the body, and i agree with the Small jig, day-in- and day out it will get you more gills. But i find that i have to tip them with a spike or 2 to get them to take it. Do you have this problem?
What happened to the last pic in never came up ? THANKS

[crappiekeith]

The last one was a video.
I never need meat,never.Not a single fish in any of my posts required meat.
I do like fur too,however it does not really come in that many colors like hair does.
What size heads do you use?

Thanks to everyone that posted. You all have helped. Crappie Keith it looks like you have a good thing going and I will probably be sending an order in the future. What size is your favorite? Thanks again everyone

I almost always use 64th's and 80th's.
Everyone in awhile I'll jump to a 100th if it get really tough,but that's only in the winter.Come open water 64th's all day long.
