Description

This jig was developed in the summer of 2012. Excellent results, lots of fish and almost indestructible. The Rabbit fur adds so much on the body and tail. I use a mustad premium black nickel ultra point hook. I have opted for a light wire hook because of the much better hooking %. Don’t let the word “light” mislead you, it’s plenty strong. Small and large mouth bass were the sought after fish, but a surprising number of walleyes took a liking to it. As always, the silicone skirts are tied on and cemented. No need to buy tails for these. “Just unhook ’em and throw it back out there!”

Field Notes

A swim jig for covering water and fishing around cover, especially when bass are feeding on moving prey. The rabbit fur body and tail add extra movement, making it useful for a steady retrieve or a slow swim through vegetation and open water. It can also draw surprise bites from walleyes.

Pros

  • Rabbit fur adds lifelike movement
  • Tied and cemented skirt for durability
  • Light-wire hook improves hookup percentage

Cons

  • Light-wire hook may be less ideal for heavy cover
  • No stated weight or depth range
