    Just want to see what you guys think of what I came up with for someone wanting some bunny jigs for small mouth. I love some of these for crappie as well though. Anyway they will be leaving Hemphill tomorrow.

    Very nice, sir. I have been tying some bucktails, and have been working on tying the bucktails so that the final thread wraps are not quite as thick, that is to say, using as less thread as possible when securing the bucktail fibers down. It's kind of tricky, though, as that bucktail tends to twist around the shank.

    That darn bucktail can be hard to deal with and I have a tendency to wrap too tight and either cut it or make it flair too much. Think I about have it now though, at least where I like the tie Ok.

    Awesome as always Skip. I think you could pick up some considerable business from float and fly fishermen who fish for smallies if you could find a forum where they were active. Your jigs are simply so good they are beyond comparison to anything else out there I have seen. You not only have a build quality I have never seen but a gift for design and color combination. Your a jig artist.
    Do not meddle in the affairs of bears, for thou art crunchy and good with ketchup.

    Hey that's great, glad they did what you expected and thanks for letting me know.

    You guys are just awesome with all the great kind words. I have a hard time living up to them.

    Thank you,

    PS I have more colors of rabbit and actually a good many more to come. I got to think about them though as I like the color combos to talk to me so to speak.
