I tie my own crappie and sauger jigs. Sunday the sauger had a preference for a flame red head with eyes. A woolly bugger medium chartreuse body and an olive green back and chartreuse belly made from bucktail. The jighead was a 1-1/4 oz wedge type head. We also used a 1-oz foot ball head with the same color pattern.
We caught some on an 1-1/4 head with painted orange and chartreuse fish hair for a skirt.
we added a large minnow on the jig hook. I think the stinger hooks were # 6's or maybe #8's trebles .
