Last weekend while long lining jigs I had many short strikes in the prime locations where I caught crappie so I threw together some jigs with a stinger hook. What do you guys think. will they work? Any input would be appreciated.Attachment 172849Attachment 172851
I can't see a single reason that won't work. I can honestly say I have never seen a crappie jig with a trailer hook. but man does it look good.
doc :)
As we used to say in the coon hunting woods, "That dog will hunt." Do they come in other colors?
Let us know how it works and if there is any difficulty taking a fish off.
Like the color, good looking jig
Pastor I just threw a couple of my favorite jig colors together as a testQuote:

Awesome jigs, TGE.
Does it hang straight?
I'm going to try them longlining . I think they would hang right with a tight knot vs loop knotQuote:

It the eye of the trailer hook will fit over the barb of the jig hook, a piece of tubing on the eye of the trailer will keep it straight.
Looks good to me. Looks to be a tiny trailer hook. What size?
Can you show us a picture of a naked jig with the second hook in place.

Way cool, I like that. I've seen many near misses where they come up and make a half hearted swipe at the jig and then head back to the bottom. That should take care of those. Let us know how they work out.
