My New Bunny Jigs and a few Bucktails too!

Just want to see what you guys think of what I came up with for someone wanting some bunny jigs for small mouth. I love some of these for crappie as well though. Anyway they will be leaving Hemphill tomorrow.

Thanks Ship & flatfish46! I wish they made the crosscut the same color as that tail (Silver/Gray), but I still like that one too. I also have the zonker tail in the same color as the crosscut and I have already caught some on that white & blue one.

That's an excellent blue shad pat.where do you get that color at I usally do a sculpin blend like that.

I like em. As far as the bucktails being a little long, I like em that way too. I mainly use bucktail while slow trolling and the longer ones just plain work better.

I buy it from Hareline Dubbin. If you want a retail type place they should have all this stuff at Bob Marriott's too as they carry about everything Hareline makes.

Actually the tail this time is different than the top, but I have the tail to match that top and it is Crosscut rabbit strips in white & blue. The tail I used here is Silver/Gray.

Skip,
Very nice looking jigs. Excellent paint job on the heads. If I may ask what kind of paint is that on the silver and copper headed jigs? Is that powder paint? If it is would you mind telling me what brand it is......Thanks

Thanks!
The silver is Pro-Tec and the other one I think you are talking about is really candy orange and it is made by Columbia Coatings. You have to put on a silver under coat and cure it before putting on the candy orange.

Thanks for the info, very much appreciated.

Okay that's it!!!! I'm not gonna order anything else LOL. Those are some sweet jigs and it definately gives the new tyers some incentive to work really well at learning the craft.

Cheers

Grump be care full with those pumkin's I sent you their pig slayer's

Mighty fine lookin jigs Skip!!!

man those are some fine looking jigs look to good to fish with good job on them.

Thanks for posting. Here is a couple of things I incorporate in my rabbit jigs...just an offering for your thought. On an olive jig, with olive used for both the body and tail....I tie in a piece of olive gold as a contrasting color at the base of the hook right after tying on the zonker for the tail.....it "targets" the hook a little and blends in gently with the olive hair. On black jigs, I use blue and on brown, I use orange for targeting.

I also tie on 4 strands of Starflash as feelers....just a tad longer than the jig...these feelers are tied on after starting the thread collar and add a little color as well...I use black with blue glitter on the black jigs, brown with gold fleck and orange on the browns, and green and blue on the olives.

I've had good reports from smallie fishermen on my jigs and I think doing the above helps too. Thanks again, Mac
