Marabou Jigs For Crappie

Featured Replies

I was just wondering if anybody had any tips on how to fish marabou jigs for crappie.

Wow....cannot believe you've received no responses! I missed this posting earlier, or I would have given you something.  I hope this helps.

 

Marabou jigs are great during the cooler water periods of early fall through late spring. I'm fond of rigging two 1/32 oz. jigs about a foot apart from one another and suspending them under a slip bobber. Sometimes I'll even just cast the double rig and slow retrieve it along the bottom. Works great on yellow perch as well.

how do you rig two

I like putting them under a jig spinner. I use a 1/8 model and burn it just like you would for bass. Works pretty well.

Marabou isn't my first choice i personally like hal flies or jiffy jigs much better.

I like fishing a marabou jib under a light bobber-especially on breezy days when there's a little chop.

This was actually made up for snook in the surf but I use them for bass, peacocks and about anything else in freshwater, after reading this post I took it out yesterday.

Was inspired to make a few up yesterday, small one is real similar to a crappie jig, don't recall the weight of the jig heads I had on hand.

First off I don't "tie" the jigs on the line. Instead I tie on two size #2 Snap Hooks (from Netcraft) and snap my jigs onto those. I use a palomar knot on the upper jig with a long tag end sticking down through the eye, similar to what you do when drop shotting. Then I just use a palomar on the lower one, about a foot apart from the first. Of coure, the bobber set-up must be in place ahead, on the main line.
