This is a jig I normally do using bucktail and finishing with a thread neck but I went and tried a new look today. This is a walleye head in 3/32oz painted white, the tail is a white and chartreuse UV2 rabbit strip surrounded by arctic fox hair and silver flash. I then decided to finish the jig with a white chenille body.

That does look good to me as well! Spirit River has the UV2 stuff and is sold through the Over The Edge Tackle company.

Thanks all!! I apologize as I should have let you all know where the UV rabbit comes from. AtticaFish is spot on, the UV2 rabbit is made by Spirit River and sold through Over The Edge Tackle. I have done well with the UV2 rabbit, in fact every jig I've used UV2 material on seemed to produce well but it may just be coincidence but I know for a fact it doesn't hurt.

I don't think it's a coincidence with the UV2, I've doctored a lot of materials with fluorescent markers with good success for years and believe if they can see it better it makes a difference,especially in the places I fish,lot's of murky water except now with drought conditions waters are a lot clearer than normal and what I'm used to fishing.
