Crappie Fishing Jigs #2: Simple Steps To Catch Crappie With jigs
Old School Crappie Fishing Family Secrets
Many successful crappie fisherman have started fishing for crappie using crappie live baits. But to progress to the next level in this great sport you need to learn how to fish artificial crappie baits. The information I want to provide for you today is about the basics of the crappie fishing jig.
#1 How is a jig used for crappie constructed? A jig is made up of three parts which include the following:
1a. – The hook (The hook size will depend on the size of the head, the smaller the head the smaller the hook, or the larger the head the larger the hook)
1b. – The head ( is made usually from a molded led or other metallic material and ranges in size from 1/64oz up to 1/4oz and may or may not include a spinner blade. I prefer the 1/32oz size.)
1c. – The body (is the plastic material that is slid over the hook shank up to the head and has dozens of different colors, and body styles.)
#2 Here are the most common types of jigs fished for crappies.
2.a Bait fish or insect Imitation jigs:
The marabou jig for crappies range in size from 1/32 oz up to 1/4oz and is made of a lead head with or with out a spinner blade. The hook is enclosed in a hair like or feather looking material on the shank up to the head. These jigs are the most commonly used to imitate either insects or bait fish.
2.a-1 Another common bug or minnow imitation is a jig head molded to hook with a plastic called a “tube”. The tubes come in several different colors and have multiple tentacles that dart through the water to look like a wounded bait fish. The complete jig ranges in size from 1/64 oz to up to 1/4 oz depending on the head size.
2.b Bait fish imitation jig:
These jigs are made up of a body made of plastic designed to look like different kinds of minnows, or bait fish that slide up the shank of the hook to the head. These bait fish or minnow and shad imitations are available in different sizes and colors.
2.c Grub or Maggot imitation jig:
This crappie fishing jig is designed to imitate a insect grub, or maggot. Their construction is of a variety of different color plastic molded together with different color real or artificial hair, or feathers. The molded combination is slid up the hook shank touching the head. These jigs come in a Varity of sizes the most common to be in the smaller sizes of 1/64 to 1/32oz.
#3 The knot you use to tie your crappie jig is very important.
I recommend you tie your crappie jigs with the trilene knot. To tie the trilene knot follow the following simple steps:
3.a Run approximately 6 inches of line through the eyelet in the crappie jig’s hook. Loop it around and pass it through the eyelet again. Pull on the line until you reach a small ¼ inch to ½ inch diameter.
3.b Wrap the end of the line around the standing line 6 times.
3.c Pass the end of the line back through the loop, and then pull the line snug tight by pulling the standing line, and the hook in opposite directions.
3.d Trim the left over tag about ¼ inch from the hook.
