Palmered Zonkers ??

[SaltyBuckster]

For those of you tying a lot of rabbit.After doing it both ways today,I honestly think that you get a much better jig,by+ palmering the zonker strips then you do palmering the cross cuts.It seems better to me to have to only worry about having one baggie on hand.This 1/8 oz. jig in the vice was made using only rabbit zonkers.Chartruese barred tail,then shad grey barred zonker for the boddy.They come out so fat and with the chartruese tip on the tail looks like a small bluegill.MHO,lol

Nice looking jig...

 

[Fatman]

nice Salty

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Thank you gentlemen,kinda loose with that word,lol.I'm done !!Made a pair of 1/8 and a pair of 1/16.All done.

 

[ScottV]

Those are awesome! How's that for a word? Lol No really, they do look good.

 

[CrappieHappy]

nice work Bruce...

 

[StumpHunter]

Those look good Bruce. I like the crosscut for wrapping but your jigs look good the way you tied em. I agree with you about having so much to keep up.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

I am totally amazed by these jigs,lol.After looking at them,I thought to myself,they need something.I added about 4 strands of black saphire flash to the center of the sides.1 of each size.After finding fish,next time out,I'm going to do the flash competition to see if it really matters if it is there or not.Maybe double rig a rod and see which one gets fish.The things are awesome wet.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Round #2,Chartruese barred zonkers.2 of each 1/8 and 1/16.They are the only colors that I have,lol.So,I'm really done now.

 

[LedHed]

Great lookin tyes SB

 

[Hawnjigs]

Palmering is also a good way to use off grade zonkers with sparse hair. I'd be interested if flash out fishes plain fur or not.

 

[Fatman]

Another nice set of jigs

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Well Hawn,we will have a report soon enough.The lake that I go to is so full of crappies that maybe it won't be a fair contest,lol.Double rig,double fish,triple jig triple fish,lol.

 

[StumpHunter]

They all look great SB. The rabbit moves very well in the water.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Here they are.Shad Grey barred and chartruese barred,2 of each 1/8 and 1/16.I figured that you can get 10 of eah size with a baggie from Crazy Angler with palmering the zonkers and a 1 inch piece tied horizontally as the tail.

 

[StumpHunter]

Looking good. Another tyer hooked on rabbit!

 

[SaltyBuckster]

I really like them dry,lol.They look and feel like little cottonballs.Heck,I have'nt even fished one yet.My sister and my niece says they look "cute",Ha.I've got a couple guys that are going to get me some soft tanned rabbit skins.And a Zonkering I will go,lol.

 

[Fatman]

Nice ties Salty!!!

 

[toadfrog]

The more you tie the less you fish.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

I'm all finished now.I have 1 black head sitting here wanting to go to the party.
