I am looking for inspiration. I have a few white swimjig heads lying around and I want to tie some crappie, herring, and/or white perch patterns.

Post some photos of your crappie patterns here so I can look at them!!! Thanks!

Here is my version of a crappie pattern skirt that I make. I really like it. I think it can imitate crappie and any other kind of baitfish that has some black in it. Just a good all around color IMO

Bass

 

Rainbow trout

 

Yellow Perch

 

Bluegill

 

Bream

 

Pumpkinseed (should be more orange)

If you are looking at silicone strands and it may be a pattern you want to do regularly then go to LPO and look at the "real baitfish" line of skirt tabs, they have a crappie pattern on there and when you put it on a swimjig or spinnerbait it looks good. I can no longer post pics here and it won't let me use photobucket anymore or I'd show you.

I would use these for a base pattern.

Here is the white crappie I use on spinnerbaits.
