    Default Looking to make some of my jigs have a new look


    I would greatly appreciate you looking and telling me if you think having a two color tail is better than a one color tail. Is there any advantage to doing this and I mean for catching crappie?
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I have had great luck with the Silver/Fl Yellow/Blue, but just wanted to see what it would look like with a two color tail. So here is one to see if anyone likes it better like this..


    Then this one with two color tail...


    Or like this with red Holo Flash...


    Then the Green & Yellow Super Bug changed to a rabbit tail..


    Same jig the way I put it in my assortments to compare with the above one...


    Thanks for looking and appreciate any feed back I get too!

    I like the silver and green ones but I'm not sure the two tone add's anything to what the crappie might want, you might want to try some testing and see if they prefer it to the single color.

    Now the red ones, the two tones the crappie might think it's a blood trail and attack thinking a minnow was injured.

    Don't know about the crappie liking the 2 tone ones but I sure do. Really like the green/yellow one.

    skip,

    I have always tied with two colors in the tail. Helps with visability under the water and helps account for changing water clarity. I like the silver / yellow/aqua one best. The crappies have to see it in order to eat it. My favorite color is chartreuseand.

    They are some good looking jigs Skip. They say crappie see colors and I think the more colors you show them better chance of them picking the right
    one. Good job. Hope you're having a good one.:D

    Nice combos skip. The red holo is real sharp, and I like the last one also. I think sometimes they want something that looks busy, active, or just way different. They caught this fisherman.lol

    Thank you guys for all the great comments. I have had a few ask about the head size and I didn't think about that, but I was just adding some summer jigs (use this size summer and at night) to my box and these are 1/4 oz.

    Sorry I didn't say that.
