weightless jigs

I want to catch some crappie this spring with my fly rod.
I made up a dozen jigs without a head so I could cast them.
Any one tried this?

I think your gonna have fun! Looks good!

Why not just make some Crappie flies? Here is one...

I have fished something similar for years and they do have their days. Good job

Looking good, sounds like a lot of fishing fun, I will have to try that.

skip you should post a video of how to make those. They look good.

​It ought to produce some fun “online” action.

Good looking flies
