Is it best to have the tail of your grub facing up or down? I'm curious to see if different parts of the country have different opinions. Here a few picture with it done both ways.

down or sideways and where did you get the jig's with the guard? i looked on your website and didn't find them.
I'd be interested in both the weedless jigs and the other jigs shown. Where can I get some of those?
Never mind. Just now noticed your web site. Good looking jigs!
GrouseFly has them in several different sizes.Quote:

I am making these jigs and other custom crappie jigs. PM me if your interested or check out my website.

Crappie are like alot of women,some days they like their hair up and some days down.
I like running with tail up,the only thing I have againest tail up is sometimes the tail will hang on the hook point or in the bend of the hook.If I have to throw into heavy cover I go with a slider and slider hook.I do not like weed guards,I know they are great for some people but I think they inter fear with my way of fishing.
