Slater Original Jig 1/16 Green/Chartreuse 12/cd

The Slater Original Jig in 1/16-ounce Green/Chartreuse is a time-tested crappie jig that's earned its reputation through decades of consistent performance on the water. Hand-crafted at Slater's Mississippi facility, this jig combines proven design elements—plump chenille body, full kip tail, and dual-flasher streamers—that trigger strikes from both black and white crappie. At 1/16 ounce, it's ideal for shallow cover, light presentations, and sight-fishing scenarios where a smaller profile makes the difference between a slow day and a limit.

What sets the Original Jig apart is its no-nonsense construction: a quality gold hook that holds up to repeated casts and solid fish, plus hand-painted jig heads that give the lure the visual appeal crappie can't ignore. Whether you're working brush piles, dock pilings, or timber in 2 to 8 feet of water, this jig's compact size and natural color combination work across seasons and conditions. The green/chartreuse pattern is especially effective in stained water and early morning or late evening fishing when light is low.

This 12-count box gives you enough jigs to fish multiple rigs, swap out when you snag cover, or hand a backup to your fishing partner. If you've never fished Slater's Original, you're fishing behind the curve—this is the jig that built the brand, and it's still one of the most productive crappie lures you can tie on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size crappie will the 1/16-ounce Original Jig catch?

The 1/16-ounce jig is effective on both black and white crappie of all keeper sizes. Its small profile works especially well in shallow cover and for sight-fishing, where a lighter jig produces more natural, enticing action.

When should I use the green/chartreuse color pattern?

Green/chartreuse is a productive choice in stained water, low-light conditions (dawn and dusk), and when crappie are holding around heavy brush or vegetation. It provides excellent visibility to the fish while maintaining a natural appearance.

What's included in a 12-count box?

Each box contains 12 individually tied Slater Original Jigs in the 1/16-ounce weight and green/chartreuse color you've selected, ready to fish out of the box.

Can I use this jig in deeper water?

The 1/16-ounce weight is optimized for shallow fishing (roughly 2 to 8 feet). For deeper applications, Slater's makes heavier jigs in their Original line better suited to those depths.
