Simple Pink Jigs

Here are three jigs that I tied last evening. Simple jigs in reddish-pink colors. Might work for trout and walleye in a pinch.

Materials:

• One-sixteenth ounce darter head jig with #4 gold hook.
• UTC Ultra Thread (white) - 140 denier.
• Caron Glimmer chenille (carnation).
• Lion Suede chenille (rose).
• Pink marabou feathers.
• Reddish-pink nail polish.
• Craft acrylic paint (black, white).
• Clear nail polish.
• Devcon 2T epoxy for topcoat.
• Pink craft fur.
• Mylar tinsel (silver holographic).

Top two jigs, IMHO, has a bit too much chenille. Would interfere on hooksets. I personally would not use as much. More contract in colors, again IMHO, is more effective in giving crappies underwater color visability choices.

Hey Pup,
I have been using a lot of pink and white. Good looking jigs !!

I like the bottom right jig, has a little white and some sparkle.

Thanks for the comments Guys.

FF,

I like that jig a lot. Dyed mallard flank is a great feather for tying an effective Float-N-Fly jig for smallmouth bass. :cool:

Your craft fur jigs always look very nice. May have to give that a try sometime. Nice clean ties!!

Nicely tied!!!!!!!! I agree a little heavy on the chenille, but all should catch fish.

Keep it simple Pup......pink head, white tail will catch all the crappie you want!! I fished em for 45 years and they still catch crappies!!!
(Although I like chart and black better now):)

CrappieDale:cool:

why would anyone think you can get too much or not enough chenille on a jig :confused:. any tube, hair or whatever we tie doesn't look
like anything a crappie is used to eating anyway so how could there be a "standard" somewhere?
you tiem' the way you likem', fat ,skinny, short, long and a crappie will eatem'.

good fishin'

Great looking jigs. Haven’t had a chance to tie up the iridescent stuff yet – fishing won’t slow down..

DM
Think the concern with too much chenille is reducing the hook gap (area between the hook point and the hook shank).

LedHed,

Understood. Jig tying should always be secondary to good fishing. :)


Thanks for all of your comments and input Guys. :cool:
