Bored at work

Attica, I've ordered eight colors of Zonkers to play around with after our
conversation about using them for smallies! If it catches smallies.....I gotta
have it! Gonna be fun tieing up some jigs with it.

I am really surprised that more people don't use zonker strips here. On these, I wanted them mostly to just add some bulk and give a little wiggle out past the craft hair. But when used with just a chennile body, they have a lot more of a swimming action - marabou or hackle just doesn't come close. That said, I did better with them in the warmer water when the fish were more active. The skin also makes them more bouyant (sp?) so you get a slower fall.

I tie some flies (and a few jigs) for bass with a 3"-4" piece hanging off the hook - they have more wiggle than some of my very thin/soft rubber worms.

Thanks Ship,
You have been one of the people along with others that got me interested in jig tying!
