Yeah, they work OK, especially in smaller sizes, like baby bunker, etc. The disadvantage to double bunnies is that when you get into larger sizes, all that rabbit fur weighs a ton when it gets wet and it can be a real bear to cast, even with a 12wt. A zonker-style baitfish pattern will attract just as many strikes and is a lot easier to cast.
