What Are You Tying Today?

What weight fly line/rod allows you to cast 1/32 oz or so crappie jigs effectively? I’m debating on new outfit and curious.

A 1/32 oz crappie jig could easily be cast and fished from a 4 weight to an 8 weight comfortably. I have no idea what those jigs I tied weigh. They have a brass slotted bead on a jig hook..

A buddy out in Utah has been dabbling the last couple years and is starting to get more into fishing. The past week, I've been putting together a dry/dropper box to drop in the mail and surprise him.

He's an Upstate NY transplant, so I'm going to duct tape it to a can of Cream Ale to ship.

I had to go Utica Club instead. My local was out of Genny Cream pounders. It's a bummer, but both are historically significant for my friend group.
