A jig for Red Ears
While chatting on-line with my nephew in NC about fly tying he mentioned he has been tying tiny jigs. He sent me the following picture and I immediately thought some thing like it, perhaps a bit bigger (it is tied on a #10 2XL fly hook) all in black would be just the jig for Red Ears (Shell Crackers). The body is two different colors of thread with a UV Resin coating and the tails are just rubber leg material.
What do you think?

I like it! are you throwing it on a flyrod or using a bobber?

In the size he tied I would use a 5wt flyrod - tied on a #2 straight shank hook - under a slip bobber set about 5' deep.Originally Posted by crappie addict

clint, that fly looks great, good job. there are two artificial baits I have done well with for crackers, a black slider body with the whitish glow paddle type tail on a roadrunner and the other is a 1/16 threadneck calftail jig in green chartreuse and a half of a redworm trailer on the hook, hooked by just one end, this is fished under a bobber.
