All Pepop’s Handtied Crappie Jig’s are tied using the highest quality materials. I also tie a special jig I call the Gammie jig that is currently made in six
styles.

Below are the steps it takes to tie a Gummie Jig.

Step #1
First I pick a painted head
and
wrap a thread base from the head about 1/4″down the shank.

Step #2
Then I select the plastic I’ll use (I prefer Crappie Thunder’s because they have bulk & are fairly tough but about any solid body plastic will do) and cut the tail off.

Step #3
Thread the body onto the hook
and
apply a tiny drop of super glue to the thread base and push the plastic against the jighead.
