Very nice jigs!
Tied these split tails to be similar to the popular trout magnet. I think they will work . Since they have chenille bodies they will absorb and hold slab sauce which I think helps on gills and redear. They weigh 1/53 oz. The trout magnet weighs 1/35 oz.

Very nice jigs!
The best thing my dad ever gave me was his love of fishing.
i think one of the keys to success with the trout magnets is the shad head and how it moves the jig as it falls. your jigs will work but making them on a shad head will be better.
Some nice work again Tom. I believe they’re winners. You forgot the solid chartreuse though. Like pink in a crankbait spread, just gotta have it.

Shad darts were developed to use in rivers and current for Atlantic shad with a fast retrieve. Most bluegill and redear are caught on a slow retrieve or dead still. To get the shad dart to dart in still water one needs to raise the rod tip. My experience with crappie has been that a slow retrieve is the most effective. My two cents worth! I have caught few crappie and gills on the initial fall.Sent from my SM-G960U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile app

Very good looking jig craftsmanship. Good luck with them.
Can’t wait to see the results!!
I agree on the slow retrieve being more productive for crappie. I slow crawl the little jigs I use and find fish more often than not.

Very nice jigs they should work well.
