Saute, Lookin' at that pic gave me a lump in my throat. I sure miss sittin' in Mr. JD's shop listening and learning. That man knew some stuff bout crappie jigs and fishin! His Crappie poles are STELLAR!

LR, There are definitely some great jig makers out there, and for me I wanted certain hooks and head designs for certain types of fishing so I got into myself. It all depends on your style of fishing. For a while I wouldn't use nothing but hair jigs. I have found it all depends on the situation. Before I was using Mr. JD's jigs, I used Black Lake jigs. Way back on Toledo before the Mister Twister curly tail, pink head with black body and white marabou was the ticket! They work back then and I'm sure they still do. Like many people have said, it's what you have confidence in. OH and never stop trying new things!
