<p>I do remember a jig called a Crappie Killer, but I can't remember what it looked like. Another really great crappie lure was a white or yellow Thompson "Doll Ya Hoo". Had a hackle collar around the painted jig head, some silver or gold tinsel, and a short plastic worm. The whole thing was about 2 inches long and weighed about a 1/16 oz. Fantastic little bait here in So Cal back in the late 60s!</p>

<p>Vince: It finally warmed up enough for me to go and dig my lure boxes out. Photo is attached of what I have been using as my home-made Crappie Killers. The pink / white is a long established go-to crappie color that still works today. The chartreuse head with yellow kip tail is one I use in turbid or stained water. The chartreuse head paint is glow-in-the-dark. I use red thread on almost all my jigs - I like to think it emulates the color of gills.</p>

<p>That's exactly how they looked, Badgerloader. The head and thread looked liked it was dipped in paint.I only used white ones, but I am sure they came in several different colors. </p>

<p>Vince: The best color where I fished in Appleton, WI was all yellow - head, thread & hair. As I recall, it looked like the head and thread were dipped into the yellow paint after the hair was tied on. The head paint served to lock the threads on.</p>

<p>I would be burrowed under every blanket I owned if it was zero degrees here. I don't blame you a bit for not venturing out to your garage to find those crappie killers. Thanks for the pic of the wobble head jigs. </p>
