Crappie counter

A few years ago there was a jig maker (I can't remember his name) who made a counter from parachute cord and beads. He had to retire for health reason and sold his business to Jerry's Jigs. I am looking for one of that type of crappie counters. Anyone know where or who makes them now?

I got some from the guy at Brushpilejigs.com. However, I do not see them on his web site at the moment.

Might I recommend going to Amazon and type in the search window Blue Cell Handheld Tally Counter.

You can buy an individual one or a 5 pack. They are plastic so there is no weight to them.
These are what I use now and I like them better than the bead counter in all honesty.

Well worth the money.

Good Luck.

One of these days I will need this

The person you are referring to is Mr. Matthew Carroll aka jigum jigs. Hey,I know a guy,let me check with him....

Agree with Hogon. This is what I use.

LOL, you might know TWO guys......

These are simple to make, but the beads/paracord come in BIG packs. I made 30-40 and have enough components to make at least that many more.

LOL,..my wife knows exactlay howmany we caught..

I got a clicker years ago at Racket and Jog in Tyler. I don't racket or jog but the clicker is still going strong! Now operator error has come into play on occasion but nothing I can blame on the clicker!!

If you use an iPhone, I wrote a counter app (EZ Count) some years ago. I think it's still in the app store.

Mathew Carrol

That was my thought.

Your post seems to have gone sideways! LOL.
I sent you a PM

lmbr the counters in RedGun's post are actually some that I had made and posted of the forum. If you are interested in some send me a PM

Do they make one with 5 beads
That's about my limit

They are pretty easy to make if you want to do that. Just Google "bead crappie counter" and there are several videos that show you how to make them. you can pick up the beads at walmart or any craft store.

not there any more

THIS!!!! I used heavy braid and beads from craft dept. and a heavy swivel. No fancy stuff! Don't make things so hard!!! This is my October one!!!!! HHHHaaaaa!!!!!!!

Matthew carrol is the guy you want to talk to...he didn't make them, but remembers who does...I met the folks who made them and ordered a couple dozen from them at a GTG on Palestine or Cedar Creek...the lady who made them was really nice person, I just wish I could remember her name (or her husbands)...if you want one in Aggie colors or horned frog colors, I probably got an extra laying around unused!

I found their name and will send you a PM.
