Does anybody in here use a "Crappie Jig"? Please do not tell me you get yours at Wal Mart or at you tackle store, I assure you that you do not. I am not talking about jigs that are used for Crappie fishing. There is only one Crappie Jig and I am at wits end trying to find out about it. Not only can I not find someone that uses it but can't find someone that even knows what it is. If you use one please tell how you fish it. Any information at this point will be helpful.
you talking about the jighead that has the lead on the hook shank? Sorta oval?
I don;t believe it, someone know what it is. Thats the one. Do you use it or know someone that does?
we just slow retrieve it...or use it under a bobber...I hve alot of guys wanting them to use ice fishing they will tie a jig on it and use minnows
also forgot alot of guys troll with it also
I bought the mold with one type of fishing in mind. I have to stand on flat ground because of a back injury. I will be fishing off of a dock and will be vertically fishing and though this jis head would allow me to do something different. I would not want to get it within 100 feet of a single tree limb. I guess my next question would be is how effective are they?
the guys i deal with seem to like them very much...When the buy from me the buy 100-200 at a time every time they order...
Are you selling only the head or are you tying them? I will try and take a picture of the one I did if I can figure out the picture posting process with pictures.
I am not sure but are these what you are talking about? I use the glow series for ice fishing!

That is the ones. I am trying to post a picture of mine but can't figure it out. I have read the instructions but the prompts do not show up for me. Do you dress them?

Here is one i tied.
Looks good and that is a great idea to add material to the "Crappie Jig". Think I will give it a try!
Thanks Len, as you can see I finally figured out how to post pics. I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard and some things are different. In the future I will be posting more pics of different types of jigs.
they also make them in a 1/32 oz and 1/64oz they call them a perch eye i believe...This what the ice guys call them
Right you are. Though on many of those I've seen them with gold aberdeen ring eye hooks with longer shanks rather than the sproat hook.Quote:

Those are real easy to solder up. I posted a thread in the archives on how to solder. (Be sure to use a gold hook. You cannot solder to bronze) Get the shell you want, solder it up and paint as you wish. I have made some with and also without tail material. Remember on jigs like that less is more. You really do not want a whole lot of material on the tail ...just a hint .
Thank you for the information and I will definitely look up the " how to solder". That may be exactly what I am looking for as it will give me more versatility, thanks again.
perch eye mold i am having 1 custom made...I think we ended up ordering 5 molds from robert. Cant wait to get it in and revamp my site and have it all running smooth
