These I tied about 3-4 years ago and they just sit in one of my boxes. Guess this next spring I will need to try them out. Some were intended for blue gills and some were just little crappie jigs for when they get picky.

lookin nice skip!i love them smaller sizes.i love that one with green spotted feathers.would like to get some of those kina feathers sometime
Thanks and I forgot to say I have caught crappie on the ones with the Peacock Swords. I used it as a drop off of a larger jig (little jig at the top).

Nice, I bet the smaller jigs like that would be good used over a larger one in a two jig rig.
Good looking small jigs Skip.
Skip Those will work fine on Bream. Nothing better than getting in to a big bed of bream. I tie one very much like the 4th jig in the second row. I tie it with a forest or hunter green head It was one I first saw for Ice fishing in the midwest. It works great. Last year I started to tie it on a Hot pink head and man it was hot in the fall and early winter on crappies. I will agree that peacock sword is a material that is often over looked by us tiers. Think that that pattern is as close as you are going to find to a small bream or bluegill fry. And the Crappies just love them.

nice-looking jigs skip they should catch quite a few bluegills on them skip I have never thought about tying some up like that.
Thanks guys, just showing some different type jigs we all can tie. Just need the materials. A good many of the ones with peacock I used Danville Fl Nylon Wool. It's the same stuff used on the crappie candy fly.

Nice-lookin jigs as always, Skip. I have a peacock sword or two that I rarely use laying around somewhere... That's a dang good idea for tailing material!
Look good. I'll dang sho be glad when I get some confidence is using just jigs. Scared of it right now and tip all my jigs with a minner. Do ya'll bounce them any if jigging stumps? I mainly spider rig and haven't done very much at of of stump jigging.
