My jig bait box, have a look

[Owl Creek]

I did that with bass fishing I have boxes everywhere. I was trying to keep the crappie stuff in check....LOL

I kept bass stuff in check better than crappie because everything cost so much more than crappie stuff….lol.

I feel that crappie tackle will grow into the space provided. Somewhere it has to be part of one of Murphy's laws. If Plano would just make a transom section of the boat that the boxes could be snapped into to configure ones boat around his tackle requirements they would dominate the boat market.

Maybe a Plano boat??
Tackle box with motor mount.
Good idea DSJ.

Expandable of course. Snap on a new section went you fill up the space you had. Maybe even a tackle tender to bring the spare tackle much like those cruise liners use to carry extra anchors

O C, Just be sure you have the right jigs to fish those lures - meaning: the right weights and hook size. Line diameter/# test is also important to be able to impart the right action, strike detection and hook set.

Thanks Spoon, I have 1/32 and 1/16 oz jig heads red, white, pink, black, plain some regular some sickle. 4 lb vicouis on one pole and 6 lb sufix on the other both hi vis. Bobber goes down = lift, bobber pops up =lift. line jumps to the side or tic's = lift.

The right action, I will have to learn. This is all I know about it at this stage.

Great OC!
Hook sizes: #8 and #6?
Not too keen on sickle hooks though very popular on Crappie.com.

When it comes to painted vs unpainted, my preference is unpainted so as not to distract from the lure or add to its visual size. JMO

Try this (though you got the right idea about using a float): Cast as far as possible, let the lure drop down by counting to whatever you find is mid-depth and slowly use the rod tip to pull the lure toward you and pause. Any slack, just reel it in making sure there is as little slack is little as possible. This way few light strikes are missed and hooksets happen fast.

One last suggestion: remove the curl tail and rig the mini-stick using a #8 hook and yer 1/32 jig. Use the same retrieve and note that the lure is now a mini-jerk bait. Cast it or float-fish it, you won't believe the hits! I also remove the curl tails and put two together using a candle flame to create a larger stick and rig it on a 1/24 oz jig, #6 hook:


Just a suggestion.

I could throw 90 % of my jigs away . I have 6 baits that I use unless someone says they are hitting something in a specific color . I am a strong believer in having different jig head sizes to change fall rate , Larger and smaller profile baits and rods with different line size .If I was to start over pink and chartreuse would be the only jig heads I would buy but would have 4 sizes of each . jigging = Bobby Garland 's baby shad in a "Patriot " , A blue and white "joker ". Southern pro's tube in Purple/chartreuse, Black/chartreuse orange /chartreuse and red/chartreuse . I give kids at church any they want .Casting ? Curly tails on road runners same colors . I have thought about giving everything else away or tossing them .

Spoon not sure on the hook size I will have to check, I just pulled the 1/32 an 1/16 off the rack at walmart , didnt look to see if it said hook size. but I do know some are to small for the jig body's. every thing else has been noted. thanks for the information I appreciate it.
