So tell me what you think. I am making these for small mouth fishing and still have more to do and kind of waiting on more colors to come in.

Just wish folks would work with zonkers more often!!!
I really like 'em, especially the bottom two in the far right column. I've had my best luck smallmouth fishing with "red-tailed" minnows. We would catch them in minnow traps and use them. Silver/white/grey/black with a red tail. If I wasn't using live bait, an inline spinner with a silver/black body with a red skirt worked really well. Granted I was fishing a clear river in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas.
Looks great Skip!!
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.

Nice ties as usual and they're all good colors for bass but I gotta tell you I like the color setup on the on in the top left corner perfect crayfish color match.

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'!!!
Man those look good, Question do many people use the rabbit for crappie jigs, and do the have any luck. Thanks Jug
Thank you!Quote:

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.

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.Quote:
