My 3 coat powder painted, all 3 colors glow, Firetiger 1/32 oz. jigs.
Well I tried them out yesterday with a little 2" chartreuse plastic curly tail grub...

... and tipped with a 1-1 1/2" live Tuffy minnow, 5' below a cork and drifted/trolled very slow (.3-.5 mph) over some points in a creek and ended up with these!!!

That's a 2.0 lber. in my left hand and a 1 lb.-8 oz. in m my right hand.
After a very windy day on muddy water we ended up with these!

Not too shabby considering the conditions!
Not much more satisfying than catching some noice feshes off of something you made yourself!!!
nice ones...
Thanks,Quote:

Baxter1 these are 1/16 oz. Jigs.

Skip Nicely done. I am headed out in a few minutes to try for some slabs. Hope I can get a couple of them for a fish supper. Been a while since I got in to a good mess of Crappie. Crappies, Hushpuppies, and Fries with tomatoe relish. Got to go.

You forgot the coordinates. Good bunch of fish there. I brought home a limit yesterday (20) but they barely made the filet table.
I love seeing the boys in their tuxedoes, especially the white crappie. We just had ice off last week here and are a long way from it. THanks for sharring pics
Nice ones!!!!!!!! Now we know who to bug for some custom molds LOL, I do like that head style.
Fatman
Good fish Skip. Water still below 50 here, but it's gettin there.
