Tying crappie jigs

Catching something on anything you create yourself is awesome.  I tie flies, but they are crappy (no pun intended).  I usually leave some sort of trademark on my flies, or can just distinguish between mine and professionally tied flies, and I can distinctly remember the first tiny trout I caught on one I tied myself.  I reveled in the fact that the chase had actually started months before I caught that fish; it added a whole new level to the game. 

Add level 3 & 4, which to me are using materials you have collected yourself (i.e. catching fish on deer hair caddis tied from my pop's deer hides from the early '70s) and creating your own pattern that actually works (I've never done this), and that is the pinnacle.

Regardless of species, that's the best!  Happy tying Jigs!

i think there are a good handfull of guys on here who love tying one on... I mean tying flies and jigs.
Jigs  i used to tie a lot panfish jigs, i kept it simple with just a fine chenille body and a marabou tail, but I am sure you got some real crappie killers.

Great feed back all! you know its funny all day at work everything I looked at made me think would that work as a tail or hey that red wire cover bent and slid over the hook shank or when I was using tar to fill a cut in the asphalt... hmmm wrap thread around hot tar on hair...lmao sounds like real mess.
