A Crappie Time to Tie

Sat down with some fur and feather this evening to try a few new (to me) jig ties. Each is tied on a 1/16th oz. lead head with a #6 hook.

Under-wrapped the bodies with white, orange, and lime-colored thread. Used a Kreinik metallic thread to over-wrap the bodies. Provides an interesting shimmer, I think, for the middle jig in the photo especially. It's fun to work with two bobbins per jig.

Crappie will be the ultimate judges however. :)

I picked up on the basis for this tying method I believe, in part, from a very accomplished jig tyer located in SoCal. :cool:

No more bass jig tying for about a month. :p

I like the orange color combo should do good.

I like all of them. The funky thread body should be a killer! I have never seen metallic thread. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see some catch pics soon!

Nice jigs.One of my favorite swap jigs came from So Cal. Very talented tyer.

Wow - great stuff pup - they will slay.

Really like the braid stuff on this post and site.

ALL you CDC tiers/jig makers are awesome - more than awesome. Seems like everyday there is something new. Lots of talent here....
Thnx

1.5 inches is an excellent size to catch Crappies. Those will work nicely. The black, silver and grey one is a winner. You are doing nicely and the fish will tell you so.

I got some thread like that,I gonna have to try it..
They are reallly nice jigs.
