This is a dynamite Pattern.
For my drop shot flies I use the same body and tail material.
I leave off the hackle skirt and palmering.
The fish would destroy the hackle in a short time so I leave it off and still have very good success.
Those are really nice!!!

I’ve been looking to combine with my fly tying with spinning rod panfishing. Those look great!

Very nice.
They would go hand in hand. Double satisfaction. I love catching fish on home brews and have been doing it a long time.Sent from my SM-G960U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

Nice looking work !
What size weight do you attach for the dropshot?? Pretty little buggers
not that i have a clue but i bet a few with some orange in them would be good stuff as well ?
really nice jigs sir :cheers2
Those are mean looking and will slay the fish.
Those look great
I can easily add orange to this jig Ketchn. That's the beauty of creating one's own. You must do well with some orange in your baits. Orange and chartreuse jigs are my favorite colors for crappie in murkey water. I've paid attention to the patterns you Texas guys use. Carrot stick and cajun cricket are two that comes to my mind.

So the body of the jig, reminds me of caterpillars. Is that what this is supposed to look like?
It does look like a caterpillar. It's a very old pattern. The first version was called a Wooly worm. Same body but very short butt tail.

Keith, The beauty of this pattern is that you can easily tie it several ways. When I was heavy into fly fishing mine resembled a small minnow in the water more than a caterpillar. With the bead head and sometimes a few wraps of lead I could get it at The right depths and strip and twitch it to look like a wounded minnow. With a little tinsel flash it was a real successful fly. It would work well with U/L. I had them at several weights and olive was a good color to start with. I think I have a few left and should dig them out. When I found patterns I would like like I copied and pasted the tie instructions into a MS Word doc. I must have several hundred patterns saved. It is a nice winter hobby.Quote:

All the tail materials work well.
That's what is so great about rolling your own!Sent from my SM-G960U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

If the fish are in a active mood I fish them as they are on 4# fireline with a fluorocarbon leader on my G.Loomis ultra light. If they are uncooperative I sometimes put a very small ( 1/4 ) piece of a berkley gulp waxie on it. That will trigger them sometimes. Never add plastic. Thanks for your question.Sent from my SM-G960U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:
