    Default Playing With Zonkers


    Been looking at AtticaFish's zonker jigs so I've been playing around trying to learn how to use zonkers. This is what I've come up with so far.
    1/8 oz. fish head w/powder paint
    Chartreuse hackel
    Chartreuse mallard flank
    Black nylon chenille
    Black rabbit zonkers

    Love zonkers and I have one whole drawer dedicated just to rabbit zonkers and crosscut strips. Even have the Mag Zonkers in some colors. Love the two color like white & blue and pretty much all the colors they make and yes I do fish with them some.

    Good stuff you can make with them. This is the only material I can think of I use super glue at all and it where I tie in the tail and start the upper body with cross cut as I don't want it pulling out.

    What did you make the wings out of?

    Scott nice-looking jig I love that color combination you did it actually job on the head. Are those Maller feathers for the wings.

    Thanks guys, yes that is mallard flank in chartreuse that I tyed forward to make the pectoral fins. It's a bugger to tye, wouldn't want to go into mass production with these! Ha! Lots of fun though. He looks like he could have played on "The Last Of The Mohicans" with that mohawk! LOL
