Beautiful looking jigs for sure! Not being familiar with all the crappie fishing techniques you fine folks use down south, I'm curious as to why you would need such a heavy jig head?
I have been using Nekid Tackle jig heads for all my crappie jigs. I talked to Ron Olguin this morning searching for some 3/8 oz heads with #4 sickle hooks and was happy to discover he not only offers the 3/8 oz but can pour 1/2 oz if someone wants them.
After getting a better understanding of everything they offer and his desire to build what fisherman and jig tiers are needing, I excepted a position on his pro staff.
Please let me know or contact Ron if you are searching for heavy heads to use with your livescope.

I fish 3 ways for most of the summer.
I fish brush piles and use a 1/8 oz head. I pitch across the brush pile and let the jig swing back. A 1/8 oz is just the right speed.
I also fish standing timber and us a 1/4 oz he most of the time to try and get the jig down where I need it.
The 3/8 oz is for hunting what we call "Free Range" fish. Folks have discovered that there are some really big crappie that hang out in the deep open water all by themselves, no structure around.
You find these fish with the live scope and chase them around with your trolling motor trying to get a jig down to them before you loose track of them.
The heavier the jig the faster you can get it down to them.
