Natural bugger

[smalljaw]

I just couldn't resist, I got the idea as I orgnized my new stuff (Thanks Toadfrog) and I thought about other patterns and then I saw my brown with red flake jig head and I had a brown hackle feather put aside because it had this red tint and I thought, why not. I used a 1/16 head and tied in some natural bucktail and then tied the tip of the brown feather in. Instaed of usng cheille I though a hares ear dubbing would be bette and so that is the route I went and then I palmered the hackle up to the collar but I didn't like it so I decided to leave out the last wrap and instead finish off the collar by whip finishing with the dubbing. Some may not like I left the collar wrap out but I thought it was a bit big and I like the was the collar came out with the dubbing, let me hear your thoughts.

That is a good one . Give this a try go with a black head yellow /blk vari chenille use hackle tips for wings , palmer it behind the wings and make the tail yellow with a red stinger . BUMBLE BEE . If ya don't cuss doing it you never will cuss .

Nice looking jig, nothing wrong with using dubbing on jigs.
