Winter Ghost Description: The Winter Ghost from Timber Creek Hand-Tied Jigs is built for stealth and shimmer when the bite turns cold. Featuring icy-blue chenille, soft gray undertones, and a crystal-blue head with reflective eyes, this jig mimics small winter shad and injured minnows. The pale blue-white tail gives subtle, lifelike movement even in frigid water, making it irresistible to sluggish crappie and panfish during the toughest months. Best Used For: Cold-water crappie fishing in late fall through early spring Clear to lightly stained water where subtle flash and natural tones excel Vertical jigging around brush piles, docks, or deep structure Slow retrieves in 35–50°F water temperatures Pro Tips: Pair the Winter Ghost with a 1/16 oz or 1/8 oz head for a controlled fall and maximum hang time. Use a light fluorocarbon line (4–6 lb test) to enhance the jig’s subtle action. For suspended crappie, hover just above the school and hold steady—the flash and micro-movement of the tail will trigger bites when other jigs won’t. On bright, sunny days, a gentle twitch or slow roll can make the reflective head and flash strands come alive. Available Sizes: 1/4 oz | 1/8 oz | 1/16 oz | 3/16 oz Hand-tied. Proven by fish.
