Fire Bug Description: The Fire Bug from Timber Creek Hand-Tied Jigs lights up the water with its bold contrast and fiery flash. Its deep black and red chenille body, chartreuse-spotted tail, and bright red head with neon accents create an attention-grabbing profile that drives crappie crazy. Designed to imitate small insects or minnows under attack, this jig’s vibrant glow stands out even in muddy or low-light conditions. Best Used For:
