Yes His Name is Crappie Keith and yes they work!!! I used them and have put them to the test against friends using tear drops and waxies and out fished them at least 3-1. When used with what he explains as a vertical fishing sytem and a flasher they are deadly.

I havnt used them, but he makes some real nice looking jigs. I'm a hair jig man myself. He's does look good!
So what if it is an ad. There are people on here that sell jigs!!!Quote:

I believe they are calf tail. I Bought a few from him this winter and they look good. He ties a nice jig. I will be trying them this spring, though I have a feeling they might work better thru the ice, but I should not pre judge. Pop
I have never met Keith I found him and his J.I.G on another site and bought a few and used them. The man asked a question and I answered. And maybe it does sound like a commercial but believe me he does'nt need my help selling he is busy all the time.Quote:

What is the best way to use such a light jig?
The only way to get any casting distance with a tiny jig is with a float (or on a fly rod.) Of course, if you're ice fishing, casting distance is not necessary.Quote:
