easy and fast Bluegll jigs? to give away to kids

I give away most of the crappie jigs that I make away, I would like to move more into bluegill(panfish). Me and the youngun go trout fishing a lot and really try to give away bait and leaders to people needing help. Now that it is getting warmer around here everyone will be out fishing the banks, We are planning on driving around camp sites and fishing areas and passing out some bluegill jigs, especially to the little people, it will make all of us happy. I am not going to try and sell some etc.., just doing it for pleasure.
If y'all could give me some suggestions or pics that will help me I would appreciate it!

thanks

Good on you for helping to pass along the love for fishing

Great Idea, and it's a great feeling to pass on the love of fishing to the younger ones. Great work...

Here's a couple to get you started

For quick and dirty, just use flash as a skirt, tied at the head like on a bucktail jig.

Or buggy like thisAttachment 455177

These should get the ideas flowing. The bottom one is made from the 1/4” sections cut off of a hackle feather after taking the tip to make a crappie jig. I’ve caught hundreds on that one alone. They’re tough and extra cheap.

Great ideas and some great looking ties, skeet. Getting the little ones started is a generous and good idea!

Nice work!

Great way to get people into tying and catching. These are a few I tied for a fellow today. Using mop chenille, one tentacle from strike king joker, and tentacle from kids pufferball

I really like that take on orange/yellow, is that just Gold flash sticking out of the collar?

Very nice work there, Eric!

Brown/Black/Olive 1/64 or 1/48 neck ties

Yes tied to look like an Arkie Bream Candy. It is gold flashabou

Nice work Kevin. Now I have to go buy some black jokers so I can tie some like the bottom left. Crackers are warming up and they like black and other natural colors.
