An easy jig to tie and it catches crappie. No need to worry about craft fur taper or adding flash. This jig fishes very well for me.

Materials:
  • A 1/16-oz. ball head jig with a #4 black nickel sickle hook from Grandpa Bob's
  • Rosey's Powder Coating - safety blue 90% gloss
  • Orbit Powder Paint - clear
  • Extra fine glitter - silver
  • UNI Thread 6/0 - red
  • Targus Foxxfur - flo. chartreuse
Targus Foxxfur has good length. Use its scraps from other jig ties. Plenty will be left over when tying small crappie jigs.

There are certain jigs that you can just look at and see right away that it will catch fish and these are perfect examples of that, awesome!!!! Very nice simple, clean tie that you can tell will work and I love the color combo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your comments Everyone. :)

AF,

Foxxfur is difficult to locate according to my Google searches. Though, FlyMasters of Indianapolis has it in their brick-&-mortar store. They can be contacted for, perhaps, a special order if interested. Can't think of this product's dimensions off hand, but I believe it still sells for $3.00, I'm guessing, a 9" x 5" patch. It's a nice product to use if you can't acquire troll doll hair (pretty good stuff imo). ;)
