Hey guys just a question toall viewers whats your favorite shape of hand tied crappie jig, mine would be round for example! what would yours be?
Many crappie fishzerman over the years have prefered the round head in corperated with there hand tied crappie jigs while some prefer the minnow head version. Just out of cureosity and the fact i have a dog gone hard time spelling on computer! LOL, I would like to here what you all have to share.
This would be nice to hear!

I like round only because it works and is easy to find. I have done some fish heads and liek those for personal use as well

I like minnow heads myself, at least down to 1/32. Just feel like it gives a better profile. 1/64 & under I still use round heads.
Here's some of my catch facts and figures for ya! I catch more fish on minnow heads...... but I also tie more jigs with minnow heads!! :D:D:D:rolleyes:
I have two styles I like.
One for casting.

i have a set of pliers w/ smooth jaws and i smash the ends of shad darts and they look exactly like these duck bill jigs you have fish"is this what you do to obtain the same look",or did you have a mold made"???
I like em all, Dale
I use an oval shaped 1/16 oz. head, made from a custom mold, for tying hair. But you can't beat the round head either.
I respect that ya got to be confident in what ya fish with!Quote:

the way ya paint them remind me a those African plate lipped folks":)I imagine if i gave them their due day at the lake ,they may have an action id be quite pleased with!!!I believe they wobble like a big dog...!"
CrappieDale,
I started making my jig heads bigger so the glow I put on them would show up better. I have been field testing these jigs for a year now and I think they are pretty good.I caught this one casting the orange duck on 4 /23/09 in 8' of water.

Minnowheads,pillheads and balls all have their place and I like them all.Those duckbill jigs are very unique,I like them and the orange/chartreuse combination as well. Looks like a good river bait that puts out some good vibes.
Nice job on the Slab man, thats a real sausage head, show us a pic or two of your jigs any jig catchs crappie like that deserves the limelite my friend!Quote:

Great looking jigs, certainly different, best of luck
JIggman,
I will pray for your son that he is safe in harms way.The Marines are very well trained and ready for their mission.We have the greatest nation in the world and your son will help us keep it that way. God bless your family !!
I use ball, minnow and horsehead jigs they all have their place. But I'm really liking the look of the 1/24th flat jigs some of you have have shown on here, aspirin I think they call them.
But overall I use more ball heads than others.
