some I tied up recently

Both of these color combination have been incredibly productive.

Your jigs looks good and nice tying work.

Jigs do look good!
I have to admit that I have never tried a brown jig for crappie and I do mean never. It's something I have to do at least one time! I just forced my self to get some chenille that is a lighter Brown and it is a variegated one ,but at least it should finally push me to give it a shot!

Good job!

ncie work...

Hogan those jigs look great, I also have not tried the brown for crappie

again good job sir

For the guys that commented on the brown. Those are not chenille. I blended rabbit hair and some dubbing called light bright. When the sun hits it it almost glows.

I have some of that dubbing. It's nice stuff for sure. I also havd a ton of rabbit and love it too and so do the crappie, but I tied and sell a lot of Ginger for guys which I consider a medium to light brown and know they catch a lot of crappie using it, but I just never have and need to. I have a new mix of medium types brown's with some gold flash in it and think it will probably be my first one to actually try.

Those are nice!!!!!!!!!!!! What color head color is that?? custom mix??

color is a hand mix of testors enamel and epoxy. I first put a base coat of white enamel and then I use the paint sparingly in the epoxy mix. Should be slightly transparent.

Those look really nice. Good work!

I really like the jigs, but have a question on the browns.....what are the longer, thinner fibers on the back end of the jigs? They seem to make a nice ghost effect to the jig....? Also, just a thought, but if you added a couple silly legs coming out the back end of the skirt, with either brown or black to emulate antennae you'd have a very fine baby craw pattern if you'd like. If the legs were an inch and a quarter linger than the fine fibers of the skirt I think that would be about right......would probably be a killer jig for smallies. Good Fishing, Mac

The tail is pheasant maribou. I also do a lot of bird hunting so maribou is always plentyful. There are 2 maribou feathers. The first is just tied in on top of the hook, and the second feather is tied in by the tip and wrapped around the hook collar style. The flashy stuff is pearl crystal flash. (don't get carried away with the crystal flash)

Nice Work!!!

I'm impressed with your jigs & colors. You won't find that color combo anywhere else.
