weightless jigs

[Buff58]

I want to catch some crappie this spring with my fly rod.
I made up a dozen jigs without a head so I could cast them.
Any one tried this?

Why not just make some Crappie flies? Here is one...

This is a weedless balanced fly that i tie and use under a float. The head is a brass bead. the hook is a #10 Matzou. Probaby weighs about 1/100 oz. weedguard is 10# mono but can be tied without it.

Here is a 14" crappie I caught on this fiy without the weedguard off my dock several days ago. I fish it under a weighted float on a spin rod but you could fish on flyrod also.
