Hair Jigs: Crappie.com Jig Swap Submission

Painted some heads and used them to tie these for a crappie jig swap in progress at Crappie.com.



I call each of them a Fireball "Half & Half".  Each measures approximately 2" long.

Materials:
  • 1/16-oz. ball head (collared) with a #4 rounded-bend hook.
  • White and black acrylic paint for basecoat and eyes.
  • Plasti-Kote B27 Orange Glow Enamel.
  • Devcon 2T Epoxy for topcoats.
  • UTC Ultra Thread (gray brown) - 70 denier.
  • White and fawn-colored (cream) craft fur.
  • Silver holographic tinsel.
This type of jig might work for Float-N-Fly fishing smallmouth bass if it doesn't work well for crappie.

    Thanks Stephen (OKSTATEjiggy?). :) I hope those will work well on the crappie. I do plan to Float-N-Fly a few of this pattern past the smallmouth bass this winter.

    The bass likely won't be as picky as slabs. ;)

    Thanks for the compliment Rob (Grubfarmer67). :)

    BTW, just keeping my hands steady and using a magnifying lamp helps me quite a bit.
