I am interested in trying my and at these, nd d not want to get the wrong materials to start with. Thank you very much for any help. Eric

Strung Marabou works best for me.

OK Ship, thank you. Looks like I'll need to get me some then. Eric

I have a stupid question where do you get the jelly body's from? or what mold do you use to make them?

You can get jelly bodies from Snake River or myself.

Trying to get started in jig tying and thought I would try these this lazy morning. Thanks for the get idea!

I used small pieces of cut up plastic worms for the body. I like how they turned out. Not sure which is my favorite color combo yet...

This is the simplified drawing on how to make them.

Those will definitely catch you some Crappie. Nice job apershon. Cut up pieces of worms will work.

I use a minnow tail grub mold to make 12 at a time and just cut the tails off and thread on rubber skirt legs. Either of these type will work.
