Bunny twitching jigs for salmon

[Shoemoo]

Tied these up for my trip to the Seattle area next week. The back is a magnum zonker, while the belly is crosscut zonker and polar chenille. Some krystal flash out the back and silicone skirt material for legs completes the package. If I have any left after I get back, I'll use them for bass.

Forgot to add a close up. I bet this pattern will be very effective on bass in darker colors:

Great ties & paint jobs - did you put a sparkle top coat over the black?

Those look like potential pike hammers. From a Montana jigger:
"Pike hammer the jigs... we have found no other form of bait/lure combination that works better than what I have tied and thrown"
Pics of his marabou jigs look a lot like yours, Shoe.

Thanks guys. The reflective black (third in the row in the top pic) is actually silver vein from Rosey's. I was hoping it would be really bright chrome-type silver, but it's actually kind of a dark gunmetal gray. It does throw some nice reflections, though.

Very nice-looking jigs. Bet they'll be effective. I really like the way you tied in the Sili Legs at the collar.

Well, I'm happy to report the pink salmon were all over those pink/white jigs last week. Caught over a dozen on one jig too (including one almost 11 pounds which is a giant of a pink), so I'd say they're pretty durable. No silvers, but it was really too early for them. I lost a few, but I'm sure the bass will love the darker colors.
