Quick update; Gave them a try here in Iowa this past weekend. We'd had a serious cold snap/rain and the water temps fell 5-7 degrees on average 'round these parts so the fishing was very slow.

I wanted to comment on how cool the zonker acted in the water. It being tied on the hook side of the jig allowed it to stand straight up in the water when not jigged or moved. Hot pink looked just like an upright worm. I'll def be trying this again. 1/4 ounce is an easy size to tie it to so it'll be interesting to try smaller hooks and different colors. I think black will nicely imitate a leach.

Cheers and thanks for the praise, I broke down and showed my wife the thread I was so honored.
