Tying crappie jigs is something Ronny Graham never ever thought he’d be doing. Since February 2022, however, he spends his spare time doing just that, tying colorful crappie jigs. To get a handle on Graham’s new enterprise, we need to go back to learn how it all started and what triggered it. “It was during the COVID pandemic when my wife, Judy, started thinking about what we might be able to do since we were basically home-bound,” Graham began. “She and I have fished for crappie together for years and I had been buying my jigs from Jim Hall, a Ruston fisherman who tied his own jigs. “Judy suggested that maybe I could learn how to tie them and it would give me something to do since we were pretty well sequestered at home.”
