This is a little heavier than 1/16 (close to a 3/32), but also have some 1/32 and some 1/24 Oz. I should make more of these since I have some ready to paint and put loop in the wire for the swivel and blade.
Anyway one of my Favorite colors for Crappie.

another fantastic job skip you did a terrific job on the little spinner bait definitely like the colors.
Nice tied spinner Skip.
Thanks guys! I do love spinner baits. The first crappie I caught here after I moved in here was one night I was actually fishing for bass with a big Black spinner bait at night right out in front on my house and got a hit, it turned out to be a big old crappie.
Glookin bait. I like the colors and ultra chrome head. Looks like one of the bunch of Ron Dons min spin heads. Great set ups. I like em, or I should say my son likes em, with a hammered Colorado blade. Nice tie.
Thanks, I like how easy it is to change the blades with that little Quick Twist Clip too. I have some smooth Colorado blades and do plan on adding some hammered ones soon. I like how much viberations you get from the Colorado blades!
Yep, excellent tie! I would also opt for the Col. blade.... More 'vibes' and you can retrieve it slower as it displaces more water.Quote:

In the spring when the fish are up shallow and relating to every branch in the water, I use one like that with a nickle sized colorado blade very slow and do very well. That is the second or third rod on the deck while easing down the shore looking for a concentration. Usually bigger fish too. Very nice spinnerbait, really like that chenille.
Thanks Skeet, that chenille is some special stuff! It really is.
The body sort of looks like Chartreuse Cactus Chenille
Actually it's much better than cactus though or at least I like it more. There are a lot of different Mylar Chenilles, but some better then others. This one is actually some Large Pearl Crystal that myself and another guy bought 4 skeins, sent out to get it died. It cost us a lot more than normal, but it is nice. All the shipping back and forth made for a lotQuote:

Thank you! I never have tried that, but sounds like something I need to do for sure. Thank you for that tip and I will put it to use.Quote:

Well I am hoping the big crappie end up on these and this is the biggest size I have. So the 1/32 and the 1/24 should also work pretty well. The first ones I tied like this were the smaller ones and I was using one spring 2011 and something big got on and ran right under the boat and we couldn't spin around fast because we were in the middle of a bunch of stumps and fast turn arounds are not possible where this was. I couldn't stop the fish so I had my rod down trying to keep the line off the edge of the bottom of the boat, but he broke my line anyway. I was using 10# power pro.
