Wapping wabbits and other projects

[papaperch]

The ones on right are a new style to me I am trying. Take round head jig and flatten slightly. Put on base thread and end up next to jig head.By the way 1/16 oz and under work best so far. Take a zonker strip and fold back on itself slightly longer than shank of hook.

Then fold middle of rabbit strip across the head and match ends up. Secure with thread. Add other material as you like. After whip finishing trim long hairs left on thread. When it looks ok put eyes on and coat with epoxy.

The ones on left are perch minners and what I call a " ghost " minnow. Below is a single pix of the wabbit wap to maybe give better idea of my deranged mind.

Cannot guarantee durablity of the " wapped ones " as I have yet to try them out.

Those are fantastic Hays! Really like the top left. Great color combos too. Seeing lots of rabbit fur around here lately and might have to try it out as well. One more thing comes in the mail and my wife is gonna hurt me!

Looks great Hays, I'm glad to see somebody else that has wabbit fever.

Travis, I know what you mean about the mail. Pam just walked in with a package of heads I ordered form RonDon and she gave me that look. I'll have to try to beat her to the mailbox on Monday cause I should be getting some materials from Crazy Angler.

Really like the Perch on the left at the top!!!!
That will take a limit any day here on my waters!
Is that barred wabbit on that jig?

 

[papaperch]

That be barred wabbit from OL CAT his dang gone self. All three of those on left produce. The 3 on right I have not tried yet. I think they will work though just don't know if epoxy will keep head in place. If I ever get my boat back together I will find out.

They all look great Hays! That top left jig is a work of art!
