Tied my first crappie jig this evening. I'll try and figure out how to post a pic. Its a 1/16 round head with a chartr head, red/chartr channil and chartr feathers with 3red streamers. cant wait to fish it Saturday! But I have to give thanks to BoBo of BoBos Bait N Tackle for allowing me the opportunity to use his equipment and guidance. Thanks BoBo!
It was my pleasure my friend. If you can't figure out how to post pics. Bring it back by here tomorrow at lunch and I will photograph it and post it up for you.Quote:

My first one I tyed looked like crap compared to what mine look like now. [to me] and then I took it fishing, sent it down to hunt. The first 10 min. nothing, sitting in the boat depressed an wham caught one, man I felt like I was on top of the world thats a felling no one else fells are cares about but you, and maybe Daisey my dog. it actually works, wow, then another and another and the rest is history.
Got to agree there Redge. One thing I figured out though. My eyes need some work! LOLQuote:

I can see that happening for sure skip. My objective is to tie what I like to fish with, but it's surely going to happen eventually. It can't be helped :)Quote:

Thanks,

That looks good for first jig for sure... I bet he will catch plenty on that and congrats bobo for helping him
nothing wrong with that, looks good
Looks good from here. That one feather strand appears to be caught in the chenille, but if you look real close it is actually just laying across the back of the jig and can be smoothed back in place. Nice tie sir. Good color combination. Deserves an atta boy from me.:ThumbsUp Thanks for shareing.
Good colors . You can never have enough chartreuse. Only thing would be is to shorten up your chenille. Stop it before the point in your hook. Nice job crappiepappa!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank ya, fellas. I got alot to learn and a bunch of ya'll to learn from. BoBo, I'm grateful. Lookin forward to learning from some darn good craftsmen!
I would say that you needed to add a little bit more marabou besides that it looks good when you guys are ordering marabou make sure that you order short and you will definitely get the right size for small jigs we've been buying are stuff from California by the pound it runs me about $45 and you can order it in any color.Quote:
