Man ive tried to think of a name for this bruiser we have been killing the crappie on lake Tawakonie on this crappie jig, Its one of my own Hand Tied crappie jigs that i have been working on for quite some time. The colors have been good for the stained water we have been fishing in not bad for a hand tied jig!
Take a look!

Can't help with a name... but Nice looking jig!
Been fishing that color combo since the mid 1970's and I call mine my Christmas jig. Not a new thing at all.
Posted this color on this board a long time back and told of it's good catching abilities and if I remember right Fatman pointed out that I said that this color has been catching them for this long.

Just wandering because ill be adding this color to our stores at Sportsmans Warehouse it seems to be working for everybody else so i think ill use it in our color schemes, ben working wanders for us on Lake Tawakone and lake lavon, all in all its a good jig and should do very well for us :cool:Quote:

I have it in both Roadrunners with marabou tails and with both kinds of tails in regular jigs. I also do it with a hair tail and can be Fox, or Kip tails. Oh and I forgot Arctic Fox too.Quote:

Not sure about a name but does look nice
Drumroll please........ :D:D The "Rasta Slab Smoker" :D:D
I do have a question..... I've seen you post a few jigs in the past, they all seem to have a bigger (wider) chenille body than head and do cover the jig head some. Is there a reason you do it this way or just simply for your own look?? I do notice you can not see where you tie off your thread, must sink in behind the chenille??
Quality does look great!! I hardly use any bright colors, nearly all my local lakes are pretty clear or slightly green tinted. White, grey, black, gold & silver are my bread & butter.
That is a good looking jig. How about "Gidget" It is tempting, sexy and forbidden. Crappies will love it.
Good job Dale, way to come up with a color combo that works well. Ya know, catching fish on a jig you made is great, but catching fish on a color combo that you came up with on your own is even better. Do y'all still have Sportsman's Warehouses down there? Ours closed down (Oklahoma City). Can you share what the colors are exactly? Looks like chartreuse, Kelly Green, and red, but just not sure about the chenille.
Ive Been Naming Lures "bruiser" For A Long Time.great Name! As It Was A Fav.of My Grandpa's Nick Names He Had For Me When I Were 10yrs.old, Or So".black, And Blue's Got That Name For Soft Plastic's,and Jigs;for Many Years From Me...:d
the head of that jig looks to be like maybe "Fire org,flo.or flame red???
how about "cherry bomb" for this jig
How about the "Red Headed Slut"

Well lets see the reason i tie just alittle stubier tapered body is during the warmer months fish tend to feed on alittle bigger bait the profile is just a shad bit differant but i still keep it small this simulates the bait there feeding on but dosent jeperdize the bite! the whole idea is to keep it small but match the profile or outline of the bait there feeding on! It works for us and so during the warmer mo starting with the spring spawn on through the summer.Quote:

Works the same in our lakes durring the colder parts of the season as well.
If this helps let me know! , Oh and i do tuck and whip!

Great looking jig Dale - better yet - it works.
How about the CD Bruser?
"Kelly green, Flor yellow tail, Blz ornge" = Xmas???
This is a good color combination. We refer to it as the Christmas tree. It is deadly on WhiteBass in the spring, Crappie in Lake Murvaul.
