RSNeely Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I have a customer looking for some jigs that represent a crappie. What's everyone's best guess? I mainly deal with fishing skirts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedyarb Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I would use the boss illusion base coat. It basically is silver with black blotches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSNeely Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Crappie color on the skirt. Sorry I wasn't clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) On the skirt I would use either #106 white chrome series and black strands or #194 black silver scale chrome series with white strands. If you are going to use the #106 I would do a darker wht/black jig, and if you use the #194, I would use a lighter white jig Edited March 18, 2015 by cadman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I don't know the numbers off hand but I've done one on a spinnerbait for a friend of mine and he loved it. Go to Fishing Skirts and under barbed wire get the Smoke BW, and then under the metallic series get the metallic pearl and then all you need to do is sort it for as many strands as you want. For most of my spinnerbaits I use 40-42 strands and for that I use 1 full tab of metallic pearl and 1 full tab of smoke BW barbed wire and I cut it in half and put half on top and half on bottom. For a black crappie you can substitute the metallic pearl for metallic dark silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
