Just tied my first and just wanted something for the tail and I happen to have a bit of Silver Pheasant tail feathers so too a few barbules off it for the tail.

Sure beats the heck out of me Skip how you come up with these patterns. Kind of like a Hunters Jig (Rabbit and Pheasant) Very nice!!
Thanks Len. It helps when you have as much stuff as I have accumulated over about 4 1/2 years. I put almost all I take in back into materials. After all it's my hobby and now I have so much stuff I actually need to add another cabinet and can't seem to resist buying more and more. Just bought a bunch from Conranch, full bird medium barred ginger, Cape Lt. Ginger, and 3 Hens, Black, Brown and Chocolate Dunhe says like I have never seen.
In the back of my head I think that I may want a Cree full bird, but that's a big cost.

Chubby lil sucka,lol.
That bunnybou looks NICE! I bet it'll have some great movement in the water.
i bet it flows like its breathing.
Skip you can really see the difference in the bunnybou and regular cross-cut. I looks a lot fluffier(sp?).
Thanks guys!
Yes different for sure, but you could do the same thing with a Zonker, but this stuff has no guard hairs so it's all fluff and silky feeling.

I see the bass bothering that one in an 1/8 or 1/4 size. Looks good to me.
Skeet that is a 1/8 with a #6 regular bend hook. A few heads I had left after that guys order for the no tail hackle jigs.
Thanks,
Skip
Nice Skip! Wish I would have known about this when I ordered my Bunny Thump jigs :rolleyes:
So many choices on jig patterns has to be a fun hobby I must get in on it! Just no time right now 2 year old little girls are alot of work!!
good looking jig skip you'll have to do like I do start filling your closet I don't know what am I to do when I get it full. Maybe I'll have to knock down a wall or two .
It's kind of new and I have had it for a little while, but this is my first tie using the Bunnybou. I wish it was not so high cost though. You only get 2' in a pack so not a lot of jigs in a pack.Quote:

We can always adjust what you want? Sending a PM.

I got your PM, Thanks Skip!Quote:

Well I couldn't get the synthetic chart stuff to warp in the rabbit like I wanted to, but probably because it's kind of thick fur or maybe the word is dense. Anyway I had a hard time taking that back out even though I had not done a finish at all, so I just cut that stuff out and unwound the rabbit. Then I finished it leaving a small amount of that chart stuff sticking out a little. So I have some other stuff like this and is a good bit longer so I could make a tail out of that stuff and it would stick out just a little when wet.
Just thinking a little and hope to remember to tie it tomorrow,

I really like the looks of the Bunnybou and with a chart tail that jig will be a killer. Nice!!
