Hey y’all! Just a lil bit about me, cooking , fishing, and making jigs have been my passions since I was a little boy. I want to share all of those passions here on RU-vid with you on my channel. At Texas Cajun Outdoors we make custom handmade crappie jigs and like to share our knowledge of jig making, when I learned to make jigs it was a long hard process really with no help an ole friend who was a grouch lol give me a few pointers but that was it over the years I have got to where I can do it in my sleep, I want to share my knowledge to anyone who wants to learn to make jigs and actually show them each step! We'll be posting some old family recipes, along with a few fishing secrets and tricks. We offer guided crappie fishing trips in beautiful East Texas on Lake Gilmer and Gladewater. God comes first in my life and everything I do. God bless each and every one of you. Please feel free to call or text me at any time with any questions you may have at 903-387-2532

Beautiful jigs! What’s your thoughts on weedguards? I fish a lot of heavy cover and have perfected a double 50# or 30# mono weedguard. I tie them on 1/16 and 1/8 heads. The 50# will knock lite biting crappie off sometimes but works great on the big war mouth (goggle eye) we have in south Louisiana. The 30# works great on crappie but will hang up in some very thick stuff sometimes. I just hate to tie jigs and spend time on 5-6 different materials, weedguard and rattles just to hang it and lose it. I’ve got that pretty well solved, now if I could do something about the garfish…anyway- more flash=more fish… keep on tying buddy. You make em pretty.
It appears that you tie a lot of jigs using Sickle style hooks. I seem to have an issue trying to find sickle hook jigs to tie....do you have a prefered source for different size/weight jigs to tie?
Awesome work. Question do i have to paint my jigheads? Will Crappie still bite them? What kind of oven do you use? Thanks so much. Scott. Love your videos.
I’m about a year in to tying. When I first got started what I found most confusing was the different names for things, for example schlappen vs. Hackle but then you have Neck hackle or saddle hackle, then there are whole capes or Saddles and let’s not forget marabou. That’s JUST some of the feathers. Then there a cactus chenille vs. New Age vs. Antron. That has been the hardest part not actually learning to tie but knowing what products I need and learning not ALL materials are created equal
Seems like they're building a bucees here in nc, somewhere out towards the coast. I've never been to one so I can hardly wait. Hey by the way, I'm loving your videos!! I'm a jig tier too and you tie some nice ones!!
That gives me more confidence and reminded me the cone is only 20 degrees. I have only used my Garmin 5 times and one time it really paid off. That was last summer for bass but excited about crappie. I would think the larger the school of crappie the easier it will be to put your jig on them. That is a great idea to find a target above water to dial in the unit for that particular day. Thanks dude!
Do you make your jigs in a weedless option? I like the heavy mono type #80 weed guard myself. I am just now starting put with this hobby and I really thank you for your help.
I really enjoy your video's, I just have to ask why do you and other tyers make their tails so long past the end of the hook? Most of the jigs I buy from the box stores are shorter than most of the ones I've seen here on RU-vid.
Is the v cut feathers better than just straight marabou strung feathers tyied on , always use strung marabou, never used the v cuts, is there a difference when it gets wet. Thanks for your comment.😊
