    Default Got jigs, now what?

    Well I got a bunch of jig heads today from 1aB and let me tell you I am gonna have fun. Many of you have seen my recent creations but I need some advice. If anyone is looking for lead free jig heads, drop him a pm. It is really nice work and all the ones I have posted before on jig heads are ones he pours.

    My current patterns are complicated and lengthy to tie. I have seen hundreds of different patterns now and I am wondering if I need to tie some more basic ones.

    I want to tie ones that WILL catch crappie and MIGHT catch bluegill, perch and other panfish at the same time. They often are found in the same spots on the lakes here so a multi purpose one would be useful.

    Also, I am gonna paint the heads and have gotten nail polish to do so. Sorry, no powder paint, they are all lead free. So I need head colors to go with them. As for eyes, maybe I can get the wife to paint on eyes as her hands are a lot steadier than mine. Or should I leave the heads plain and just put eyes on them since they will be shiny and stay that way with a clear coat?

    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
