Something New

I got a new mold last week,a 1/16 Phatboy/spinner mold that will take size 2-4 hooks. These are #2's and the tails are bunnys.I was at CABELA'S last week stocking up on thread when I noticed they had bunny fur scraps for $3.99 a bag.One bag had 10 pieces and 5 were multi colored. I cut some strips and this is what I came up with,pretty simple tie,but I like it.Maybe add some flash in the tail the next time. The light gray I dyed myself. The green/yellow bunny is really nice,I'd like to find more.Anyone know where I can get a skin in that is color? It would make a killer bullfrog.

They look nice and that is a sweet mold. Who makes it? Is is just a crane swivel insert with the hook slot?

Robert told me about this one. Looks good.

Jim, I absolutely love the rabbit grab bags at Cabelas! I believe Feather Craft has a good variety of the Hareline rabbit strips... if it wasn't them, it's J. Stockard. I haven't ever seen the two-tone zonked full skins though. That might be tough!

Fantastic jigs Jungle! I think someones becoming a fan of the bunny! Oh and nice mold by the way.

The mold was made for me by CAT. What is really cool is that it is cut so well that I can pour without the cranes and there will be only a small sprue to trim off,two different baits for one price. The postioning of the swivel right under the chin enables the blade to spin just under the body which I think will result in more fish hooked. These should give some smallies sore mouths and crappie will eat these as well. I havn't seen the two tone green/yellow at Feathercraft,I live close and pay them a monthly visit. Maybe CAT can help me find that color. A lot of fish eat frogs.

That Looks GOOD

Excellent jigs! i'll take the 2 on the right.

I have yet to decide where i like to add in the flash on the z-strip tails. i make some with it under, some over and some down the sides. the strips flow so much different in the water than many materials...

i like the white/charteruse head one.

These heads are custom pillheads with a #4 sickle. THE heads weigh 1/24 oz.,eyes 4mm. What is new for me anyway is the Palmer chenille that I used to wrap over the chenille body. I bought a pack from CAT to try and really like the way it turned out. I'll be buying several more colors for sure. This color is Pearl Gray.

Awesome ties JJ1 - both styles look gr8

All of those look good JJ1. I like that palmering chenille too. I'll have to check into that.

I have seen that fancy chenille only a few times now, can say i do really like the look. When you made them, i take it you just palmered it same way you would do hackle? Did you palmer over regular chenille or different base?

I palmer wrapped it over chenille. I also liked the tailspinner so much that I tied some up using the palmer chenille. I think you are on to something there. I'm going to post a few pics on your thread,not trying to hijack your thread,think it's a great idea.I'm gonna try them tommorrow.
