    Default The Jelly and Hackle Jig..How to make them photos


    I know many of you do not see all the other great forums on crappie.com so I wanted to post the jelly and hackle jigs here also. They are super easy to assemble but they are quite deadly on crappies as well as Bream. I usually use a jelly body and then thread hackle, marabou or flashabou through them. Use a needle with a large eye. Add a drop of super glue to the back of a jig head and thread the jelly body on to the jighead.























    sometimes I will also cut the tail off these and thread a marabou tail on too.



    Try this technique out the next time you want to create some jigs to fish with.

    Those are great - where do you get the jelly bodies from?

    Go to the DYI plastics forum here on Crappie.com and send a pm to Snake River who is Bob Hinkle. He will fix you right up with the Jilly Jelly bodies.

    I want to publicly thank the moderators as well as Snake River for their consideration and approval in making this topic a stickie. This has been posted in the DYI plastics forum for over six months but we were still getting a ton of inquiries on the process. By posting this as a stickie I believe we have helped several youth groups because they now have a project that their groups or even teacher's classrooms can do.

    This also may spur many individuals to get into tying jigs by giving them a feeling of confidence that they accomplished something and actually made something that catches fish. Thank you one and all.

    in the future we will have many different designs of plastic bodies and we will post them as they are available if you have a youth group that is starting into tying jigs or making jelly in the previous steps above it would like donation of bodies for your group please let me know we will be more than happy to donate them if anyone else has questions on building jelly jigs I would be more than happy to answer all questions there are many different materials to be used for the tail Mike has used hackle also marabou also you can use silicone rubber or living rubber for the tail also you may add crystal/to anyone other materials or more flash this is a wonderful hobby to get into either using rubber bodies or making your own personal jigs is our posted on this page is a world of fun also it is a beautiful hobby to have we've been at it for over 45 years and we never grew tired of it yet we started out when we were about 15 years old we are 64 years old now we started out way before many of the materials were available especially jig heads we only had a few different ones to work with this was way back before plastics were introduced such is skirts in many of the plastic bodies that are used now for crappie fishing I hope everyone will enjoy making these jelly jigs and of course regular jigs have fun.
