Does anyone know where I can find a jig body for crappies like this? They are black and orange with like fiber optic strands that sparkle. I don’t know the maker and I bought them at a hardware store that no longer stocks them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That’s a home-made Fuzzy grub body.
I have not seen those in the stores for a long time. I would find them on the peg board racks in some bait shops. Twin Tied Tackle might be able to help you. @b-man
Looks like marabou and crystal flash. You can find stuff like that where they sell fly tying materials.

Other than the color of the soft plastic body, everything is common stuff for the fly tyer. Fuzzy Grub bodies are easy to make using a grub body with the tail cut off.
Thorne Bros has something like that-the body of the hook is wraped in hackle with feathers sticking out of the end. The fuzzy grub is a bit big for most crappie stuff.
Naw…. one can use a grub body off a crappie-sized grub, just remove the tail and use a thin wire loop to pull the materials thru the body and trim as long as desired. Then simply add the grub body to an appropriate sized jig. I’ve made tons of the pseudo fuzzy grubs doing it this way for crappies and sunfish fishing.
Keith, what color is the soft plastic? In an expanded picture it looks like a rootbeer color. Correct?
And is that Crystal Flash gold?
Thank you for all of your replies, I really appreciate it! Root beer is probably right. It’s not completely black but it alternates between dark and orange on the grub body and has like sparkles in the body. I think the crystal flash is actually a little dark or root beer like between the shiny parts.
