3 New Crappie Bucktails
Here's some new bucktails I've been working on for crappie. What do y'all think? The pink one would be pink bucktail but I'm out and have a few on order. I couldn't get the lighting good on it as many times as I tried, sorry.
1/8th oz #1 gold aberdeen hooks.

Nice, What type of heads are they
-
Look good smooth,tails maybe just a little long but it may just be me,think they will work though.
-
man i like 'em. you're gonna catch more than just crappie on that second one. Fishhunter might be right the tails look a little long....the fish will let you know though. Good job!
-
Nice Good Looking Jigs Like Them All.

Very nice ties.I wish they made those ultra minnow heads in smaller sizes.This size might scare the crappie in my area but the bass and walleyes would jump on them.
-
I like em a lot. I would be using them to catch big crappie or take a big ole green fish if they ate it too.

Thanks guys. I did think about cutting the hair shorter, but I've seen enough 3" shad and bream in big crappies stomachs that I decided to do it long. In the water the bucktail lays down a little and doesn't have as big of a profile. But up north where smaller crappies are the norm I would size it down a bit.
Decoy Carver they're the Ultra Minnow mold from Do-It. Got about 100 more to pour up when I get my saltwater hooks for the same mold (with a few modifications).

Nice jigs, those will get them.

that chartreuse is killer...love the heads too

size matters
This time of year there are no new bait fish. 3 inch is better. If they are short biting cut them off a little. New small bait is on the way.

Unless they're hungry, I see these weeding out the dinks. For short bites from crappie, I'd do the hair 1/2-3/4" shorter. I was still in the saltwater mind frame of tying bucktails. :D
