Chris,

Do you happen to have any pics of your bucktails? I'd love to see what a Wonder Bread jig looks like.

Eric here is a few of different jigs I've tied.

I usually tie mostly white, chartuese and pink, but started tying more colorful ones to match the bait, mostly herring patterns.

The one in the fishes mouth is a 2.5oz pink and blue herring jig the pattern was by a guy on sol who use to tie and sell, ive copied his pattern on some of mine. painted heads and flash too.

The wonderbread colored plugs always did well for me so why not on a jig? Ive been doing really good on em, I tie .75 to 3oz in that scheme. I personally like tying them, breaks up the boringness of tying all one color over and over.

The blue/white one i tied last last fall when we had a sea herring run, the blue hair outfished all white everytime. On that jig in the pic its actually tied with white berkley braided line and super glue.

Those are very nice, Chris. The Wonder Breads remind me of the Ken Abrames style of bucktail color selection in flies.

I think I see some saddles in there; do you add pork or a grub tail to these when you fish them?
