Slater Original Jig 1/16 Orange/Black/Chartreuse 12/cd
The Slater Original Jig in 1/16-ounce is the workhorse crappie lure that built a reputation for Slater's. Hand-tied at their Mississippi facility, these jigs combine proven design with quality materials that consistently draw strikes from both white and black crappie. The 1/16 size is ideal for targeting crappie in deeper water, open-water periods, and when fish are scattered—small enough to match natural forage but weighted to reach structure quickly and fish vertically or with a slow retrieve.
What makes the Original Jig effective isn't complicated: plump chenille bodies in high-visibility colors catch a crappie's attention, full kip tails provide natural action on the drop and during the pause, and duo-flasher streamers add flash that triggers bites in low-light conditions or stained water. The quality-painted jig heads and reliable hooks mean you spend more time fishing and less time retying after lost fish.
The Orange/Black/Chartreuse combination gives you three proven patterns in one dozen-count pack. Orange and chartreuse excel in murky or low-light conditions, while the black adds contrast and depth appeal. Stock a variety of these hand-tied jigs in your tackle box for spring spawns, summer brush piles, and fall schooling periods—they're simple, effective, and built to last.
