Glad to see " rabbit fever " spreading. Like your idea about the bucktail to prevent tangling.

Another idea I use is to two -tone tail and glue them together with Mend-It. This is a special formula glue that sets fast and the hide remains just as flexible. The top zonker I pierce with the hook and then tie right behind head. The two bare hides facing one another with hook in between. Just a drop or two of Mend It is all that is needed.

Your jigs look great just as they are.
