I have really just starting crappie fishing but using plastic baits. I was interested in tying my own jigs….I want to thank you for your video on what to buy and how to start tying…Very informative and given where you can understand!!!!! Thank you for your time and this video!!!!
One tip to the new tie crew……Squirrel tail , like buck tail can slip on you. Take your time and secure both those type tail materials, with either good tight wraps or add a tiny amount of Hard as Nails ( Nail Polish ) on base thread then continue to do your wraps. Hackle, Turkey flats, and other misc. feathers are a bit easier to secure. Rob
That’s part of the fun. Coming up with new patterns, color combinations etc.. One other tip is -it’s a lot cheaper to buy materials at craft stores-hobby lobby’s, Elamite craft aisles etc. You can buy life time of material for the price you pay at fishing stores. And anything can be turned into jigs- latex balloons, dust mops( crappies love mop bugs) pull chains for ceiling fans. Be creative
What would you suggest as the 3 best color combos you've found? Want to try to tie these but want to try a couple different color options to see what works best
@@crappieconnection not yet, lol. But that’s my next step. Even painting and prepping all my own heads I am spending a fortune. So I have been studying up on how to do my own.
