Caught a crappie on a pink San Ron Worm. May tie up some other colors. Simple to make.
Going to try some Toothpick Minnows, too.

Crah-[censored]?

Oh. Never mind.

Good looking flies, Moon. I've been meaning to buy some jig hooks. Do you have an online source?

Yes, i do.
jig hooks for tying flies, Allen fly fishing has 60 degree, barbless jig hooks, size 8 to 18, 90 degree jig hooks, size 1# to 5/0 for bigger streamer flies.

For crappies jigs, i like to use sickle hooks with walley head. Crazy Angler has very good deal.

There are so many choices, i am not sure what application do you intend to use. Hope i have more info.

Moon,
Thank you. I'm looking for fly sized hooks, sized about 4 to 18, so the ones from Allen will get me going in the right direction.
