Some new jigs I made my first try...

Do you guys think these will work?

I don`t see why not.Get em wet & see

I just showed the picture of them to a bunch of crappie. They all said "Yum."




Please post a report after you fish them.

Nope, those won't work....better just send them to me and start over with some fresh ones.
Better go sharpen your fillet knife if you're gonna use those jigs....they look good!

Looks good, especially like that black and chartreuse one! Nice work.

Look what I got....My first Vice for tying

You jig tying at work???

JE's jig lol...the crappie better be on the lookout!


Thats where you think of the best combos

Nice baits!

No not tying yet but gonna go pick up a few supplies

black and chartreuse has been banned in Texas, please forward to me for disposal.

Yeah I like that one myself

JE you always up to sump n When you gonna launch that boat? I saw Slabrador Retriever in his yesterday on Hubbard.Man It would be perfect for those pilings on the Hwy66 bridge!

Soon after I joined the forum I began to visit the crappie forum more than any other section on the TFF. I wanted to learn more about crappie and how to catch them. The members here did not disappoint. I have learned a lot from the folks here, as much as one can on dry land. But one thing I have regretted once I got a good feel for catching crappie on jigs is tying my own.
I used and when possible promoted Jigum's Jigs with great enthusiasm. And rightly so, he and some others on here make some great offerings. But there has to be a special kind of pride for taking the time to make a lure/jig yourself to catch fish.

I have always admired trout fisherman who tie their own flies. Now I have an equal admiration for those who make their own crappie jigs. It looks like you are well on your way to enjoying the fruits of your labor. Good job, keep it up

That's a real good start to your jig tying career. I bet those jigs on the far left fall SUPER slow with that big feather tail. Good job Mr Ryan!

I need to use those sucker I tried one and didn't get a bite. Threw a rattle trap behind the boat and caught about 50 sandbass. Now as of yesterday the sandbass stopped biting so now I'm back on here trying to figure out a reason to go to Grand Isle an fish the rigs.

the games have begun!

Looking good.
