These are what I call punkies " short for punkinseeds " because of shape of head. Used a long shank jig hook for more feather and tail room.

These are the wabbits. the clouser type I used rubber leg for the belly. Really like how it moves in the water. Somebody crowned Atticafish the " King of Zonk " , while I have a tendency to agree, I just want to let him know that competition still lives:D

You just might give Attica a run for his money with those zonkers. Great job! A little competition is a good thing. LOL

The punks look good, they also make nice shad profile jigs.

The top left jig in the second pic looks like an excellent creek chub. Those are the most widely available minnows at the shops around here and seem to work well with just about all predator fish. Need to tie me some up. :cool:

Haha, "King of Zonks" - i like the title, but not sure if i am there yet, i'm still/always learning and love seeing what everyone does with their favorite media to work with... bring on the competition - it makes everyone better!

Side note: I have been cutting alot of hair off the strips when making smaller jigs. I have a few strips saved with no fur on them and wonder if you have ever tried using just the hide on a jig for a tail? Haven't got around to tying any yet but thought they should work out similar to the chenille tail jigs you have been tying...... but NEVER rip apart!

No I have never tried the bare hide on the strips. Like you for the smaller jigs I have removed the hair from the hide. Certainly worth a try , as we all know, us tiers hate to just throw anything away.

My chenille worm squirms as I call them . Are just variations of the San Juan worm. The ultra chenille has proved to be bullet proof. Only problem 2 # test did not stand up to 5 pound bass in neighbors pond.
