I know thee are not crappie baits, but I am trying to find some xcalibur one knocker lipless crank baits- one ounce in ghost color. Never know some of you other crappie fisherman might have one they...

I have been tying trout flies the past few weeks, but today decided to make a few (9 dozen) crappie jigs. Poured, painted and tied all today.
