Plastic bodies or mariou style?
I'm just curious because I've never given the maribou style jigs a fair chance. I just grew up fishing 1" 1/2 tube style jigs my whole life and was wondering if any of you guys have had much luck with the latter?

use plastic...but down in Texas used a hard painted body on lead with a buck hair tail, was Chart. and white...did wonders on Lake Fork for Slabs under the bridge piles there..
But all time favorite in Arkansas lakes is a 1/16oz jig plastic Black and Chart.
I'd have to say my all time fav would be green/white or blue/white tipped with a minner of course :p
I have always liked a solid white hair jig but am starting to really like the bobby garland plastics! (blue thunder, red shad, electric chicken):)
plastic any day of the week, hands down
MidSouth plastic body tube jigs, hands down the best jig out there!
I only use 2'' umbrella tube baits by Southern Pro on a 1/8 oz leadhead.
I use plastics and hair jigs both have there place and time that work well the key is to believe in the jig you are using.
Noslab.
Back when I used to actually get to fish for Crappie the most fish I caught were on red and white plastic tube jigs, never tried the nibbiles. Had a friend fished for Crappie a lot his favorite was blue and white but had to have metal flake.
Plastics bobby garland stroll R' is my #1 . Hand tied jigs are great also. I use meatgetter jigs they are Great!!!
Anything I tie.:D:D All joking aside it is pretty nice to catch fish on something that you have made.
creekslick another guy living in your area has spoiled me to living rubber jigs,I've always used plastic.He had made me 450 jig heads and did a great job on them,I sent him a few molds for making bass baits that I no longer use.I wanted to give them to him to show my thanks in a job will done.In return he sent me several hand tied living rubber jigs of different sizes and colors.I think Jim/James as you may know him did that on purpose knowing he was going to catch a fisherman.The season I say spoiled I used one jig for 4 days catching a limit of crappie and bass each day,its still not torn up.If I had been useing plastic on those days more then likely I'd used 100 or more.I've seen the light you cann't beat home made tied jigs that others take pride in tieing and their workmanship.
I use alot of Slater jigs. And Creekslick it is fun to catch fish on jigs that I tied. Tried a few at Ramsey Slough and they worked going to try them other places this spring.
Jim is the one that taught me to tie. He is a member here but does not post.Quote:

I was raised using a hair jigs. SLATER JIGS , with my favorite color being chatr/red/chatr. I am telling you nothing beats a slater jig. With one phone call to clemie at slater's, you can get any color combo that you can imagine. They will be at your door in 3 days!!!
WVS you should give meatgetter jigs a shot!!!
