Looking for bluegill jig suggestions

[Shoemoo]

The crappie spawn here in Idaho is very, very late this year due to a long, cold spring and bad weather. They are still on the beds but while fishing for them I'm starting to pick up nice bluegills. Last night I caught three over 10". I want to tie up some jigs for gills that crappie might also bite on since they are all mixed together. I've got a bunch of 1/32 oz heads on size 6 hooks I'm planning on using. Looking for suggestions on what colors and materials might work best.

Squirrel tail, ostrich herl body wrapped with barred grizzly hackle.

MCG1 knows.

My advice, hairy, maybe some rubber whiskers for the bluegill.

I caught some BGs a while back on a regular hair jig for crappie. If they are on the bed, they will attack a variety of jigs.

we use 1/32 and 1/64 black marabou blood quill tips over olive for gills pink over white for crappie

Although I like ostrich herl any small chenille will work in its place. I will sometimes run a piece of flat diamond braid or sparkle braid down the back for additional attraction. Thin, wispy tails look worm-like when wet.

Went back today and fishing was slow but I managed to catch this chonker female and another sightly bigger on a brown pumpkin head with olive and black. For scale, that is a 2500 class reel.

The tail is golden olive rabbit trimmed off a zonker, the body is black and copper new age chenille and it has a neck made of Hareline UV life flex wrap. I really like the flex wrap for making legs. It's basically estaz with long rubber strands in it.
