You might want at look at the Punisher Jig page. I am going over to Dale Hollow in Dec. To use my float-n-fly rod from B-n-M rods and see how well it can handle the punishment of a smallie. I can not want wait to go. Oh here is another one you might check out www.cumberlandpro.com I just got some of there jigs tonight at one of the local tackel store here in town.

Are you looking for FnF jigs for Smallmouth, or just looking for some nice jigs for Crappie fishing (using a float) ??

Most jigs sold specifically under the FnF use moniker, ARE pretty expensive ... running around $1.29 each or higher. I've even seen a "float", specifically designed for FnF use (weighted to set at an angle) ... that runs $4 & change for ONE ...LOL!!

Craft hair jigs seem to be the mainstay of FnF jigs for Bass ... but, for Crappie - marabou and other materials are also good. Most any 1/32-1/16oz leadhead/hair type jig will work fine. We have members that tie some really great looking jigs of this type, and some will even tie "custom ordered" ones (your choice of colors, materials, weight, hook size, etc).
Here's some of the ones I know about, that make some great looking jigs:

P&S Custom Tackle
Crappie Magic
Zigs Jigs
Jigs by Dirk

You will pay a little more for "custom" or "hand-tied" jigs ... but, you can get that "one of a kind" type of jig, not seen on store shelves. But, if you're just looking for a cheap jig to cast under a float for Crappie ... then the store bought marabou jigs are about as cheap as you will find. Cabela's, Bass Pro, Wally World, your local tackle outlet, or any retail store with a fishing dept. will usually have a multitude of various styles and colors.

Float-n-fly, Float & Fly, Floatin' Fly, Float/Fly, Jig/Bobber, or whatever you want to call it - is just a "method", of presenting a bait to the fish. This "method" was probably originated by Crappie anglers ... and, the "other species" anglers just borrowed the technique, and tweaked/refined it for their own purposes.
