How many times when you have been out fishing have you wondered what crappie fishing jig to use?
There are so many types, sizes, colors to select from it is easy to get confused. Well let me explain exactly
what a crappie fishing jig is , What crappie jig type to use for different situations, and what color to use.
#1Crappie Fishing jig what is it? The crappie jig is made up of the two parts, the first part has a hook
with a sinker molded too it. The second part is the body and it is made up of a Variety of different items,
plastics for curly tails, some type of hair or bristle for marabou jigs, add a spoon or blade to a
marabou jig and you have a rooster tail.
#2 Crappie Fishing jig Purpose? The crappie jig is use where you want to
create a vertical jerky motion to attract the attention of the fish. Do not get jigging confused with spinner baits,
spinners create a horizontal motion through the whereas, jigs create a vertical motion up and down through the water.
#3 Crappie Fishing jig How do you choose?Well I wish I could say that it is totally cut and dry
what to use for different situations but a lot of selection is trial and error. It is good to keep a log , so you know what works
under different situations. This will give you a starting point for your next fishing trip. Most often the color, depth water ,
and water clarity can change the color of the jig in the water. Also, the weather conditions can change your selection.
For example if it is a sunny or light sky day you would want to select light color jigs. If it over cast and a dark sky you
would want to use dark color jigs. These selections are not set in stone. You will probably end up changing
colors many times throughout the day.
