    Default Itty bitty hand ties work!


    Typically when I'm trying to get the crappie to bite, I'll keep downsizing (along with changing colors, etc.) until I'm either catching them or I run out of jigs.

    Yesterday, I was getting bit on 1/64oz gold and pink, but the bites were tentative. So I tied up some 1/80oz jigs when I got home. I brought my older 2 boys for backup and headed back out today.

    We didn't have a lot of time, but we caught 15 in about 40 minutes. No big ones, but we all enjoyed the thump!

    You hit a home run mister! Knocked em out with your hand tied jigs and got the young boys involved in it too. They’ll remember that for a long time. GOOD JOB DADDY!!
