New Crappie Jig

Has anyone here ever fished with a crappie jig with no lead. It is a plain jig hook tied like any other jig just without the weight added.

I failed to mention that the tournament fishermen at washington were using these on their trolling rigs.

Gnat, Minner Critter, Minner Teaser, becoming very popular in the trolling community. Donnie has been tieing them for 4 or 5 years I know, think Meatgetter started after that, Slater's jigs started last year and now Arkie Lures is tieing them. Donnie has a thread in the member sponsors board here, not sure about where to look at Meatgetters stuff, Slater's either, and Arkie has them on their website in the crappie/panfish section. Donnie and Arkie are both sponsors of this site, Meatgetter is too most likely but not sure about that.

Kevin send Donnie a PM

They are teasers.....they are not new.....I am 70 years old and my Dad and I were useing teasers when I was ten years old. They have been around forever just being called different names now. They are very good to use tipped with minnows. I have a bunch that Donnie at Crappielogic made for me and I really like them.

^^^^^^^What they said.

Yes and we spider rigged Sardis with a 14 ft. Jonboat with a 15 horse motor and lots of cane poles
I know spider rigging wasn't invented then.....but we did it anyway lol

And we caught fish without any electronics.....imagine that

You could catch um with a dip net back then. They didn't have the pressure they have now and No Size or Pole Limits. [emoji1]

And different weather patterns too, seems like we always had water in the spring 30 years ago.

I can imagine ole G and Satdoc out there then, homemade dugout johnboat, Bamboo poles, catgut line, and bone hooks.

The lakes were deeper back then because they hadn't silted in. More cover left also. You couldn't RUN up to Wyatts like you can now unless you were in a Jon boat with a 25. Had to idle in there with a big boat and stay in the river channel.

So this was after the dinosaurs evolved from scales to feathers? I just don't see a lizard scale teaser working that well on those saber tooth crappie. :)

Actually Bill....the fishing was about like like it is now...it went in cycles just like now....good years and bad years. As far as pressure goes...there was some always lots of Memphis folks and others from TN, MO, and AR. Anyway it was good then and its good now....somewhat different as far as the silting in etc. and loss of cover etc. As far as the invention of gun powder Chris ....we were still rubbing sticks together to start a fire. And Chris#1....no dinosaur skin teasers were used...but we did make some with small strips tore out of our t-shirts lol....It was a lot of fun. Remember...growing old is a privilege that some never achieve.

And thank you guys for making my day today....you guys are the best.

Guess we know who invented the Internet now. Thanks G!
