    They do seem rather expensive and they don't really look that good...

    Nah, I never planned on buying any. I was just curious.

    But if I did need buy some, I would definitely support the guys here who do it.

    IMHO there is no such thing as "the perfect crappie jig" there are good jigs tied well and there are some not so good tied less than good. Then there is junk. All are out there and all will sell and I am sure all will catch a fish or two.

    You just need to decide what you want and go for it. If it is not as good as you wanted, don't buy that one again. If it is as good or better than expected then buy more and tell your friends.

    Ha, My pastor ties jigs and years ago down on lake fork and surrounding lakes he got a call from a fellow down in Florida that guides and bought a bunch from my pastor and made big promises about how good they worked then next thing to come was a perfect jig from a guide in florida. I finally found this guys website. Thanks. He uses a little different style of head than my pastor. But during my own tests and trys alot of different jigs catch fish. Heck I molded some large tube heads with a size 1 hook and the crappie was swallowing it. I do use tin which is shiney. The best jig is the right colors for the body of water, and these guys on here ties some great looking jigs with excellent quality.
