Tying the MOST REALISTIC Crappie Jig 

So nice to see folks doing crappie jigs that aren't just Marabou, and chenel. Very nice fly.

Very nice. I would have never thought about using a tube head jig. 👍🏻

Great video. Very well explained and illustrated. The jig is outstanding and should put many fish in the bucket/livewell. Congratulations on a job well done.

I just want to say THANK YOU!!!! As a newb I'm so very appreciative of your videos! They are all so well made! Thank you again Mr. Mustache! 😆

Awesome!! Super realistic colors and profile!! All your hard work really paid off on this one!! Look forward to seeing the other colors in the minnow jig!! Thanks for sharing!!

Love to watch you make the beautiful jigs!!! So professional and you are a wonderful instructor!!! I want to try all your jigs!! 🎉🎉❤❤

I fell in love with this jig. With my OCD I would flatten head and dip in smoke or silver before starting. Outstanding Jig appreciate you sharing your knowledge.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 A five star Jig .

I mean the applications of colors are limitless. This is a beautiful piece! I plan on trying this with some of my smaller jighead styles possibly walleye head I’m super looking forward to it thank you

Good looking minnow lure here sir, Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. The other day, I was out feeding the dog and putting in more water in her swimming pool she loves. I noticed a fly in here water bottle, Best I can tell, it is some sort of large bot file. I mean really big, I am working on tieing it the best I can. Each Time I go out in the kayak fishing, I always take a fly rod, and I enjoy fishing with it, especially this time of year when it is slow going on the summer heat fishing. We have some fish called Bowfin, I keep seeing them roll, hitting some of the topwater bugs in the mornings. I am looking forward to hooking up to one of those prehistoric fishes. Maybe this jig or the new fly will incise him or her to strike at it. They have large teeth, I am hoping the line will work like floss and he won't bike the line off. Keep up the fun videos young man. Dale

You really did a vantastic job and yes it is very realistic thanks for the video preciate it

Thanks for sharing your pattern! This is my favorite video of yours.

The walleyes in Lake Erie would eat that in a heartbeat... LOL

Bro this is so cool I have been tying for 10 years and this may be my all time favorite

Well done!

That's an Awesome looking jig .Thanks for sharing it. I'll be making some of those let me know if you ever make it to southern Illinois. We'll go fishing.

What a wonderful lure, and wonderful commentary too!

Great, patient explanation. Awesome jig

I love this jig man, looks like it'll catch a mountain of fish. Thnx for sharin n have a Merry Christmas

Great pattern, can’t wait to try it next week, going back down to Kentucky Lake!

Great looking pattern. Never though of tying over a jig head.

Very nice!

Speechless brotha. Always seem to amaze me. Love it bro. Heck yea.

Amazing, Thank You

First off, very nice jig fly. Ill have to tie up a few. Let me say that at @10:05 where you say "lets get it wet to see the real magic", that's not how the fly looks underwater, it looks like what you show at about @10:00. The tapered wet look is only that way out of the water - thats not what the fish see -this segment might be misleading to new fly tiers. A couple other comments; sharpie colors are not very long lasting and you'll have to reapply color after a few times fishing the fly. Copic lasts a little longer, but you'll still have to recolor every so often. And, if the UV resin is tacky after initial curing, just wet it using a q-tip soaked with 90% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and the tackiness goes away - no need to apply a second coat of non-tacky UV resin. Again, very nice jig fly!

That’s impressive! You’re so artistic.

Impressive.

Great looking jig!

Thank. Looks real good. Got my mind thinking already 💯💯💯💯👍🏽

Talent!

Stellar

Phenomenal! Great design…

Do you rough up the jig so that the thread/Material stay on better! I’ve had to watch this video 3 times, it’s an excellent jig. Very real looking and reminds me of a threadfin Shad paint job on Bomber fat free Shad🤙🏾 Well done and well designed, thanks for putting this up and I look forward to watching more of your tying.

Beautiful job! I've been experimenting using thick Loon UV resin and 50LB Fluorocarbon line and making a brush guard on the head with two clips of the fluorocarbon line. Place a drop of UV resin on one side of the head, then hold one piece of fluorocarbon in place with my fingers at the right angle, while using the UV light to lock it into place. Then do the same on the other side of the top of the head and lock it in place. Then I cut the fluorocarbon pieces to the same height. Voila! Instant brush guard the fish can't see, but keeps your jigs, and the hard work making them from getting stuck on a piece of brush or tree branches. Give it a try and see if you like my idea.

I’d really like to see the jig in water. Considering buying the materials from Fly Fish Food. Before spending the money, I’d like to know that it holds its minnow shape in the water. Thanks…

Wow!!! Very nice! Good work!!

That's a cool looking jig

I love it. I’ll be trying to do one in a round goby color

Awesome

Amazing work.

Masterpiece! 👍Thanks!

very nice pattern.

Awesome jig

Amazing jig. Very realistic and I'm sure works good. Thanks for sharing

Simply AMAZING!!!!!

Killer looking jig. Powder coating the lead jig white,black or chartreuse before tying would be a good idea

MJ&F: It might take a little more time to list, but might save questions if you list all materials & products. Such as what type & brand of UV resin used, UV light brand used, etc. I know I'm interested. You use some items I NEVER have, so I have no idea of a baseline to draw from. AGAIN: Thanks for your great creations.

Awesome jigs bud. Do you sell them?

I'd pay 120 bucks for a dozen of them. Plus shipping. That jig looks so good, hell I damn near want to eat it.

I can do this perfectly well.

I tied a few of your ice minnows which work quite nice. I tried added the orange and yellow to the bottom of the jig just to check it out. It looked ice rough but the sharpie coloring washed away. Any clue why? Is it a certain sharpie marker you use?

VERY KEWL !!👊🤟

Can I get a dozen of them

Hey brother that's a good looking pattern and in your video you stated you had to perfect what you presented to us. My question sir is when you tie in that first dubbing with splitting the thread could I use a dubbing noodle in lieu of a dubbing loop or splitting the thread

I am interested of buying a few of these are you taking any orders?

Awesome jig. Question: Can’t seem to locate “light orange” sharpie but found “neon” orange...could you provide the Sharpie color number? Thanks. Also, who is the tube jig head manufacturer?

Muy chulo

WOW!!!

Great video! What size brand and color of eyes were those?

LOLOLOLOL!!!! SON, YOU ARE GOOD!

What brand tube jigs are those?

Do you sell them?

What kind of UV you use?

Mantap

Interesting way to tie a baby fat minnow.

Do you sell your jigs.
