Slater Original Jig 1/16 Black/Black/Black 12/cd

The Slater Original Jig in 1/16 oz is the crappie lure that built a reputation—hand-crafted at Slater's Mississippi facility and trusted by serious panfish anglers for decades. This is the jig that started it all, and for good reason: it catches crappie consistently in a range of conditions. The 1/16 oz size is a go-to choice for finesse presentations and lighter tackle, whether you're working shallow brush, channel ledges, or open water during the spring and fall bite.

What makes the Original Jig stand out is the attention to detail in construction. The plump chenille body provides good water displacement and visibility, while the full kip tail creates natural movement that crappie can't resist. Duo-flasher streamers add flash and attraction without being over-the-top, and the quality gold hook holds fish reliably when you set the hook. The painted jig head is built to last through repeated casts and fish.

The black-on-black color scheme works year-round and is especially effective in clear to slightly stained water or low-light conditions. Load a dozen on your tackle box and you'll be ready for your next crappie trip, whether you're fishing from a boat, pier, or bank. Pair it with light spinning tackle, a small popper, or fish it on a straight jig-and-twitch retrieve—this lure does the work for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size crappie does the 1/16 oz Slater Original Jig work best for?

The 1/16 oz size is a finesse option that excels with smaller presentations. It's effective for both white and black crappie across a range of sizes, especially when fish are feeding on smaller forage or when you want a slower fall and subtle action.

Can I use this jig with light spinning tackle?

Yes. The 1/16 oz weight pairs well with light spinning rods and reels. It casts easily and provides good sensitivity for detecting bites and controlling your presentation in shallow to moderate depths.

What's included in the 12-count pack?

The pack includes one dozen hand-crafted Slater Original Jigs, all in the black/black/black color scheme and 1/16 oz size, ready to fish.

Is the black color effective in clear water?

Black is an excellent all-around color choice and works particularly well in clear to slightly stained water and during low-light periods. The combination of the silhouette and the duo-flasher streamers makes it visible and attractive to crappie in most conditions.
