Bucktail and Zonker jigs

[smalljaw]

Here are a pair of 3/32oz jigs that I just did, they look similar but in reality they are different. The top jig is a brown jighead with a brown sculpin UV2 rabbit strip tied on for a tail. I then tied in a little white bucktail along with gold and silver flash to give a little contrast, then I tied in natural bucktail over the top to finish off the jig. You can't really tell from the picture but the white comes out nice and as you turn the jig it the light you get the subtle flash that I wanted, which is why I tied it in under the natural bucktail. The bottom jig is also brown, it has the same brown sculpin UV2 rabbit strip for the tail but then it is finished with a sparse tie of natural bucktail and gold flash.

Those look like bona fide weapons. I have almost every color combo imaginable of that exact style in my box. Nice!

Have you seen the tip-dyed bucktail? Every time i see them it makes me want to get some and tie this style with them.

Thanks all!! AtticaFish, I get my rabbit strips from a place called "over the edge tackle", it is a store that sells Spirit River brand tying materials and they make the tip dyed bucktail as well and it is on my list of material to get. As soon as I was making the "bearded dragon" jigs with the natural bucktail I immediately thought of that stuff as the tips of the natural bucktail stand out.
