Crappie Hairjigs or Plastics (why?)

What's the difference and why use one or the other. That is the question. We spend some extra time on the water and discuss how they differ and when I use each one.

Great video. I would rather catch 30 + crappie a day than 6 bass. I’m almost strictly a hair/feather jig guy. I tie my own and have various color combos, but all white or chartreuse combo are my go to.

Hair jig is the way to go, been tying them for a while now. My opinion is with hair jigs more time for the bait in the water less time fixing the bait on the hook and they are tough. I fished plastic for years and still do from time to time. I tie a lot of 64th and 32nd
I like to downsize, big fish eat small baits.. Nothing better than an 80th ounce Bluegill jig catching slab crappie.

Been making hair jigs, feathers, and rubber skirted crappie jigs for a couple years now. The only time I like plastic over hair is in muddy water I like a curly tail or boot tail for vibration purposes.

I love this video, I’m just now getting into the hair jigs so that was very helpful

Looks like feather! I think of squirrel tail as hair!!

Hal fly, plastic with a feather insert and tail. Unbeatable for crappie and hybrid bass.

Wow! When did real fishing become a video game?

[VadimDrevenchuk]

Using a boat and a sonar like that… you can hone in on anything. The challenge is…. Finding the fish.

Love all of your videos. What do you have around your cables to protect them? I’m scared I’m going to hang mine on the trolling motor putting out or picking up

[scottkendall]

For me the discipline is this. I keep one of each tied on two separate rods. When going to lakes where you know that certain colors of hair work all the time then hair it is. When going to a lake where the fish will change up on you ill go with plastics.

Great video content. You earned my sub today.

So no movement needed..just toss it in and not on the bottom.... So a slip bobber setup would work too?

I’m here to find out the size of the split shot. That’s all I need to know

[kimberlydyer]

What kind of stand do you have your screen on? Does it fold down? Thanks

[stevemasters]

I tried it on the tm, like it much better on a pole, but that’s just me

[JIgginCrappie]

I’ll take a plastic over a hair any day. Never had much luck on hair jigs.

How far apart do you put your split and what weight do you use

[DarrylCheeves-fr]

And you guys really call this fishing 🤨 lol
