Tied a few crappie jigs this evening. Used marabou feather and Muench viscose/wool chenille yarn.

This yarn has a nice iridescent sheen to it when held up close. It's kind of like some fish scales. It's certainly the most expensive chenille yarn I've ever tied with. Jigs weigh approximately 1/16 ounce each.
They look very good I wonder how they hold up to blood stain's from gilled fish profile is excellent!
Nice tight ties - very good looking jigs
I agree very nice looking jigs"any other colors?and what kinda expensive are you talking about???
Nice jigs
Nice! Those look to catch fish for sure.
Thank you for your kind words Guys.
A very generous woman sold me seven 61-yd. skeins of this yarn for $10. I purchased it at a yard sale, thinking that it might have some good applications for smallmouth bass jigs. Still think it does, but then thought... why not crappie as well?
I Googled some prices and found it selling between $13 and $16 per skein. Regardless of price, I hope and think it will work pretty well. Crappie will be the ultimate judges though.
Here's a color card from a distributor.

Top left is pretty cool.
How many colors did you get?
Thanks again for the kind words Guys. I hope to fish the jigs this fall for crappie.
Unfortunately, only two. An iridescent beige and a green. Both looked good for bass jigs. I had a shot at a blue, but didn't consider tying crappie jigs at the time. Wish that I'd considered them back then. :( Hindsight is always 20/20...Quote:
