Danielson Crappie Jigs

Danielson Crappie Jigs are classic, affordable feather/marabou jigs designed specifically for crappie (and often effective for bluegill, perch, trout, and small bass too). They're a staple in many anglers' tackle boxes due to their simplicity, durability, and proven track record.

Key Features

• Head: Painted lead jig head with a realistic eye (usually round or 3D style) and a wire loop eyelet on top for tying to your line.
• Body/Tail: Marabou feathers (soft and fluffy) or sometimes chenille wrapped around the shank, creating a pulsating action in the water with minimal movement.
• Hook: Light-wire, sharp hook (often gold or black) that's perfect for holding live bait like minnows or waxworms, or fishing naked/paired with a soft plastic trailer.
• Weights: Commonly available in 1/32 oz, 1/16 oz, 1/8 oz (light weights for finesse crappie fishing in shallow water or around brush/structure).
• Colors: Wide variety including white, chartreuse, black, pink, yellow, orange, and multi-color combos — white and chartreuse are go-to favorites for crappie.
• Use: Great for vertical jigging under a bobber, slow trolling, spider rigging, or casting around docks, brush piles, and submerged trees. The marabou breathes and flutters naturally, mimicking small baitfish or insects.
