More Bunny Thump Jigs

Man those look good, Question do many people use the rabbit for crappie jigs, and do the have any luck. Thanks Jug

Thank you!

I tried some about 2 months ago that had a silver head and I didn't have the crosscut strips yet so had a chenille body and a zonker strip that was two tone white with blue tips and caught some really nice crappie and that was the only jig that caught any fish that day.

The ones here are a little bigger, but not hard to make them the same colors just smaller jig head and shorter strip for the tail.

Lookin' Good!! Fav is the right row in the middle, with the black tail section, will defintely catch em. Like your sig. jig below that and the silver/blue one above.

Maybe throw the drk green fur on a black jig head. Favorite lure on my hometown river is an all black Fuzz E Grub with some silver sparkle in the hair, 3" or so. On my jigs, I actually run drk colored chenile above the tail... I think the bulk thins out some of the smaller fish. That may not be what the customer wants though???

I will be placing an order over your website soon... can you make the grass shrimp on your site 3" in size? I know that's big, but I fly fish as well, and that would kill em'!!!

Thanks!

As for making the grass shrimp 3" long, I am not sure I guess we would need to discuss this a bit more in email or on the phone so I understand how you want them. Just thinking if fly fishing you would need a very small jig head and then how to get it 3" long would need some talk, but maybe so??

Hey Skip, you should try just using the regular zonkers. Then you wont have to retie another zonker strip in. when doing it this way you need to brush the hair back as you wrap towards the jig head.

I know about the use of just the zonker like that, but I really like the crosscut top portion better I think. I would be more inclined to do what you are speaking about if I was tying some woolly buggers I think. I have thought about doing that on these, but just think this looks better for what I am trying to do.

I also like just using the crosscut strips by them selves without the zonker.
