Field tested some of my jigs
All
I got out on the water late yesterday afternoon. Hit a small impoundment - maybe 6 acres - max depth, 7-8'.
Had one of my ties on a rod - threw it in, at a small chunk of wood peeping from the water, maybe 20-30' from the landing. Caught 3 crappie right off the bat. After that it was a fish here-a fish there. Jig was 1/32 oz, blue head, white chenille, light blue krystal flash. Moved about the puddle, picking up a fish here, a fish there. Finally lost it in a brush pile. Sadly, this jig was a one-of I had tied.....
Switched to chartreuse head, purple ice chenille, and chartreuse kraft hair, also in 1/32 oz. This to, produced fish.
Ended up with 10 crappie, enough for supper tonight, easily released that many more. No pics, no camera with. A pleasant time on the water, and the crappies vote of approval was priceless.
A while back, some here on the forums mentioned tying 5-6 of a given pattern - lest you loose one - I endorse that statement. From now on, no more one of's!!!
