That is a good question and I�m glad you asked. I tie both long and short tails and let the fish choose which one I use. Some times they want a larger profile and some times they don�t Hope this helps. but I don�t trim not sure if it matters I just don�t care for a squared off tail

I have been killing the crappie on this jig all last year.
I hope to learn to tie something just like this in various colors

The best color day in and day out is a unpainted head gray body and trail

Nice jig, and I like grey as well. Just got some nexage chenille in from Crazy Angler. One grey in there I really like has some black on it too.

Did someone say grey?

What's the weight on that jighead?

That sure is a pretty one!

Thanks Pot licker...

Weight on that one is 1/8 oz...
This un here should hunt too, weight is 1/16 oz...




Thanks for the replies...

Dang that one is pretty also! I'd say it'll catch.

Seems like the LOP crappie are 12 to 20 foot deep in timber most all of the time.
I don�t have the patitions to fish any thing lighter than 1/8. It takes it too long to sink

I don't blame you, on that lake in the deeper brush a 1/4 oz might be a good choice. They be some biguns in that lake...

How about some pank...

Oh yea

Pink is pretty too!
