    Jig (Fly) Box Recommendations

    Looking for a nice fly style jig box that’ll hold a bunch of 1/64, 1/32, and a few 1/16 and 1/8th oz jigs. Any recommendations? Been out of the crappie game too long.

    I did black/chartreuse/orange. Sharpie for the back and lines and orange marabou stripe on bottom. Lot of work.

    You can find them on eBay, Amazon, and local craft stores like Michael's and Hobby Lobby. If you want to reuse the bags look for 4 mil thick.

    I would just do chenille body and marabou. Bucktail is better for fishing vertical since your action comes when the hair goes up and down, IMO anyway. It'll still catch fish being trolled/casted no...

    I've only used #4 and #2 but the Eagle Claws look about the same. I've read the Mustads run big for their size but never tried one.

    I don't really think you need to use it until you start tying 1/2 or 3/4 oz bucktails. I've never tried GSP. I tried Kevlar thread and it's fine but the color bleeds and is expensive. I use thin...

    I bought some size A Danville rod wrapping thread and it is a very strandy nylon. Too slick for my bucktails. I use size D rod tying thread, I think it's a 3 strand braid. It's about like upholstery...

    The Eagle Claw Lil Nastys are ok. They're not stick in your nail sharp like the Matzuos were. Haven't gotten my hands on the Mustads yet.

    If you're not looking for something to put in the oven I made a rack for airbrushed jigs and crankbaits out of threaded rod and 2 2x2s. Have about 20 bucks in it. Can snap a picture if you want.

    A white or white and shad grey Clouser is probably the best choice. I'd tie it with heavy eyes so you can strip it fast and keep it deep enough.

    I can but don't usually for crappie. Expensive hooks when you lose a bunch.
