Has been a while since i have tied any for my box after stocking up through the winter. Sat down the last 2 nights (stormy nights, no fishing) and tied a variety. Did a few with some new rabbit colors i got a while back.....

1/4 tin heads w/ zonkers, fuzzy fiber, chenille & silicone skirts:

1/8 blind walleye heads w/ zonkers, chenille & flash:




I've done a bunch of this next style with a flash core and then a very thin layer of wool roving over top. The thin wool makes them somewhat transparent so the flash stands out differently when they are wet. They have bee doing good for me so far this year.

1/16 w/ flash, thin wool veil & flash dub accent color (1 has a chenille neck):

1/32 w/ flash, thin wool veil & craft hair or flash dub accent colors:

Great looking and tied jigs! I really like the looks that the wool gives the jigs.

Very impressive. I too like the way you have produced a wool 'veil'. I must try that.

Thanks for all the positive comments. The zonker pigs are my go-to bait for both smallies and largies, but tend to go a little lighter for the shallow rocky waters of my local river smallmouth. Orange/black has beaten out the green jigs so far this year for largemouth. The wool and dub jigs are still fairly new to me so don't have a whole lot of patterns with them. Fished the tiny orange/silver jig (last pic bottom right) and caught a couple really nice bluegill yesterday before i got chased off the shore by lightning and heavy rain.
