Hey PPG,
Some folks are just pedantic. My post was in reply to Ryan M as to why I thought there were few post about the jigs.
These days I don't matter much what animal the hair or feathers came from. IMO

JR, I'm more of a plastic man myself although I do tie and use some Marabou jigs with great success. On my last trip out that I posted pictures of, all mine were caught on a orange head, black chennel body, blue marabou tail. Marabou really has some great action even at rest which is great when they want a slow presentation.

That would be kip tail, but that pic looks like it's too long for Kip tail except for the end of each tail. I do tie a lot of Kip Tail Jigs for guys in South Louisiana and they do catch crappie!
I have a lot of Fox tails and that should work too, plus it would have more action than Kip.
Old thread but today a friend sent me a fresh article in Tech Life on the couple that make the Popp Chop. It's the June 2, 2013 edition. This friend is really good as he sent me 10 of the jigs to try.
I wonder if the guy that makes them is on CDC.
Skip, we don't all have jig part intellect like you, but thanks for teaching us. Always good to learn. I compare calling them all hair jigs to calling all soft drinks coke. Danny

This is an old thread. Just trying to help out.
This might be an old thread but I keep wondering what KIP is suppose to be --- at the Tackle shop those Bleached, Dyed Squirrel tails don't say Dead Gray Squirrel or Prairie Dog.
