i ve been tying the larger 1/2 oz ,7-8 inch versions for bass . has anyone been tying that style in a smaller size for crappie?

We need a pic rich. I tiy from 1/16 to 1 and 1/2 oz. What style

[rich mc]

grumpy i tie preacher style. several hackles on the tail ,several tie in with bucktail [hollow tie] .just thinking that shorter tips and craft hair would work on smaller 1/32aand 1/16

Don’t know why I got a triple post for this but here we go!

This is what I pull up for preacher head. Is this what you’re talking about? Do you like craft hair? I have it but seems to get tangled like no other for me.

that is a copy of a preacher jig but doesnt have any feathers in the tail . talon tackle is remaking that old summertime jig.

That’s a pretty jig. Mine are mostly basic and unpainted.

That is a good looking jig

Same here with the Craft Fur, it really works well, but tangled together is a mess! So I prefer real Hair/Fur over Craft Fur. Know some use it a lot and know one guide that ties his own uses that Craft Fur all the time.

Like the looks of the jig, but a little on the long side for Crappie so need trimming, lol!

I stick with feathers and hair for my little jigs, but that preacher jig is out of my league it really looks neat.
