    Default Hey Slabologist


    Do you have any more pics of those bucktail jigs you tied a few weeks ago? Perhaps some close shots??

    Okay after tying some bucktail jigs I can see the point of using jigheads with a larger hook. The jigs look good but appear like short-striking may be a problem as the bucktail body extends to over double the length of the hook. Ever have a problem with crappie short-striking?

    Short striking??? Ever seen the mouth of a 1.5 to 2 pound crappie? He wouldnt have a problem eating a good sized bucktail jig. Of course, It might be different up north where its colder. I live in Georgia, and I have a problem with them swallowing them.

    slabslayer, the short-striking assumption came from the size of jigs I've used, and I've basically never used a jig longer than an inch and a half. I'm going to give my new bucktails a try this weekend and see how they do.
