[Larry Richards]

I am putting together a box of Crappie jigs.What size jig heads and what baits would you include in the box.

1/8 0UNCE PINK AND RED JIG HEAD with a pearl slider, chart. tail. Works every time.

When I used to do alot of crappie fishing I tied my own maribou jigs with a pink head and white maribou. I tied 1/16 to 1/8 oz heads but it always seemed I could catch more on the 1/16 oz. If the water is real murky a chartreuse jig would sometimes work

I like fishing lite stuff for crappie, for sure when they move close to the bank. 1/16th oz and even 1/32 oz. I like pink and white but I like purple and black too, something to mix up the contrast. Purple with a pink head is a killer for me. Gray is a good neutral color. Chartreuse is always good. When they're off the bank in deep water, we use buck tails and go well- white bass too.

Thinking about the swimming minnows I use, the same colors should work for jigs too. Black/white, smoke, motor oil (sculpin), blue/white. Actually blue is a great color- not many people use blue.

I like Hutch tackle's bucktail jigs. These hand tied jigs are really deadly on anything that swims. I like the 1/16 OZ in #28 (white with tinsle) Check out Hutch's website (www.riverwalleyes.com) These are very high quality jigs and are very resonably priced.

Mike,

That visit to the website cost me $94. They sure look good. Hopefully, the fish will think they are pretty also.

Yeah, I just sent Hutch a check for $80 myself (second order this spring) They sure do make some nice jigs, so far I haven't had anything wear out on any of the jigs except some of the tinsle from the White Bass tearing them up.
