Sign me up! Sign me up! That's funny Hays, I just went wild and tyed one with wabbit and mallard flank about 20 minutes before seeing this. I'll do something different for the swap though. LOL

 

[hunter7711]

OK! I'm in and have never used either material. I do have some duck, just not been using it.

 

[CK3]

Sign me up Papa, need something to keep my mind occupied.
Due to several health issues with family and myself, I may have to drop
out, but I'll try to get them made up and sent to you before anything further developes.

 

[LedHed]

Sign me up as well

 

[StumpHunter]

Sign me up too. I'll have to order some duck but I have some rabbit. That's a good looking jig Scott!

 

[hunter7711]

I beleive the post says, EITHER OR. Doesn't that mean you can use either one of both if you want?

 

[papaperch]

That is correct you can use either or both. For many many years I either tied a buck tail or marabou jig. They were about as basic as you can get. Then I stumbled across these jig swaps. Now what was a chore became a fascination ( wife says addiction ).

There are some outstanding tyers of both the duck fedders and the wabbit fur. I just wanted to see what a collection of these would look like.

Everyone involved in this swap is going to be spurred to new challenges. Every swap I have been involved in has done that to me. Only thing I fear is this collection of swap jigs gonna be too dang pretty to use.

Thanks for hosting it. Looking forward to trying new stuff, and expecially receiving samples of everyone's talent.

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

You're ahead of me JJ, I've got the heads painted but unsure how to use the fedders and fur!!

 

[papaperch]

Don't worry JJJ and CK3 next bad jig I see from either of you will be the first.

While I am at it some of you older masters quit being polite and jump in here on this swap. We want to get the younger fellers that joined in really fired up.

I got a family re-union this week-end but after that look out men and Katie bar the back door. Fishing and tying is all I 'm gonna be doing.

 

[AtticaFish]

Put me on the list please. i have a couple different ideas i might use. one is pretty complicated, so will have to see the final tally of tiers before i decide which direction i go. i have not tied a combination of duck AND rabbit, so will be putting them together on a hook for the first time... should be fun.

Hey Attica, using the mallard flank between the hook shank and the zonker kinda acts as a guard to keep your zonker from fouling in the hook. Sorta like the tip you gave us about using the bucktail.

 

[moswampy]

put me in I have not done a jig with either so it will be fun.

 

[hunter7711]

Hey papaperch, there looking for you on CDC. Seems you up to host the next swap.

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

Talk about timing,doing two at a time.

 

[Ron Don]

Ha that could get a lil confusing with some of the same folks doing both swaps!

 

[sloedown]

Most I ever did was 3 swaps at the same time....i forgot what jig I sent where !!!LOL
