Bunny Jigs

These are some of the assorted bunny jigs that I've been tying the last month,1/8 oz. pillheads and footballs. Some have bunny tails and others have silicone rubber tails. My personal favorite is the bullfrog imitation. There are a lot of designated trophy trout and smallmouth areas here where live bait and soft plastics are illegal to use so these are legal alternatives. This fall I caught more crappie than bass using these even though most have 2/0 hooks in them. Some crappie actually were swallowing these.

Beautiful jigs....

Wow, really great looking jigs!

Excellent jigs! The bunny body/skirt tails might have some really cool contrasting action. The eyes on those pill heads really make them standout.

The red/black vein head... :icon14: :jig: It will make a boring jig to our eyes but you have to try one with that head that is simply black with red flash. No Joke - hands down best producing smallmouth color in my entire tackle box.

Beautiful jigs. Great looking work!!!

Thanks everyone. AF, I ordered five whole rabbit skins last week and can't wait for them to get here. Black crosscut and zonker skin,white crosscut and zonker and a hot pink crosscut is what I ordered along with some smaller packs. When I got finished with the order there wasn't one penny left in my paypal account. As soon as it gets here I'll make some black jigs,already have a bunch of heads painted. If I get too bored I'll add some medium palmer chenille in with the crosscuts.

Awesome work JJ... great looking heads and materials!

They are all very nice,but,I just love the football heads.Well done.

With the 1/8 pillhead I can pour it the regular way or on the hook shank and slide it into position. I think the head is better balanced and doesn't require as much materials. The rabbit habit is getting expensive.
