Chartreuse Bunny Jig - hair jig tying

[@samknape2362]

The way u grabbed that rabbit fur a free handed it into the dubbing loop was impressive

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks buddy. Just been doing that move a lot i guess ;0) Cheers, Michael :0)

[@jimmiehernandez80]

Hello my friend you are very talented Michael I hope to be good as you tieing jigs. You are a very important part to the fishing world. Take care of yourself and keep the videos rolling in Michael

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thank you very much, Jimmie. New videos are in the making right now. Stay safe. Cheers, Michael :0)

Going to adapt this for stripers this week. Killer tie

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Cool. Works for most predators. I think it will for stripers as well. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@360fishingadventures8]

Wow this kills it for coho salmon! Tried the same style in different colors and patterns. This particular one is best in the muddy conditions. Sweet jig bro!

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot, bro. Great to hear you are swinging these for Coho :0)

[@joeduca8582]

Great jig, great blog too. I agree 💯%. Cheers Michael 👍😎

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

And thank you, my friend. Cheers :0)

[@rawrfishing]

beautiful jig, i might wanna try making one for my water ways :)

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot for your response. Glad to hear that you wanna give it a try. Cheers Michael :0)

[@AddictedAngler]

Looks real nice

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@kentyler966]

AWESOME! Saw several techniques that I have never seen before. Not sure if you sell these but they would be worth buying just to have one hanging on my work shop wall.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Hi Ken, Thanks a lot for the kind words. I have been a fly tier for 30 years, so I guess some of my jig tying techniques are lifted from streamer fly tying. Currently i don't sell jigs - just tie for my own fishing and for my KZbin tutorials. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@Coopersboy7]

I bet a scaled down version would work on crappie well

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

I am sure it could. Give it a try. tight lines, Michael :0)

[@mikelp8265]

I’ll have to give that a whirl. Love to see you at the NRA Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg Pa. sometime.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot, Mike. Would love to be there, but it's a long from Denmark to Pennsylvania ;0) Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@abahmufishing]

Nice bro

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot, Abe. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@f1chtl]

awesome jig fly! i am hoing to build one but with less weight to make it slow sinking. What is the reel in the first shot of the video? looks like 4600 C3?

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks buddy. The reel is a 5500C Syncro from the '80's or the '90's . Same color as some of the C3s though.Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@abefrohman1759]

Very cool.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thx a lot Abe. All the best, Michael :0)

[@rudychavira5558]

Micheal love your flies, where do you get the magnum bunny strips dyed?

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot Rudy. Actually these are from Hareline. Fabulous colors right out of the box. Should be on the shelves at your local tackle shop :0)

[@thereelchase3157]

Has anyone tried this approach for speckled trout? I bet it would do well.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

I use it for seatrout (sea run brown) in the salt here in Scandinavia. Think it will work for your speckled trout as well. Give it a try. Cheers, Michael:0)

[@brianbochow]

I love that jig Michael..I like how you cross wrapped that zonkers forward of itself but I am confused about your orange finish after your silicone strips... did you dub that onto your thread??? Do you think if I used a cross wrap zonkers in that finished collar I could achieve a similar finish??? I reckon our Aussie bass and cod would devour that jig thankyou for presenting it...regards Brian...

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks Brian. The orange rabbit hair for the front collar are cut from the skin and put into a dubbing loop. Basically I pull the tying tread away from the hook, around my finger, and back to the hook. Then i put a dubbing twister wheel at the end of the loop, insert the hair and spin the loop. Make a search for How to make a dubbing loop, and I'm sure you will find an instruction. Tight lines with those Aussie tackle busters. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@brianbochow]

@@MichaelJensensAngling THANKYOU for your answer and advice...just for your knowledge I am going to enhance the whole jig as I have a custom made ball head with insert to fit a underspin blade...A size 0 gold Indiana blade will compliment that jig nicely... thanks for sharing it's design Michael... Regards B.J. [e-mail]

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

@@brianbochow You are welcome :0)

[@donniemullins4523]

Awesome!!!!!!!

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thank you, Donnie. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@whitesalmon0925]

what is the 'spinning tool' called at the end?

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Hi White Salmon. It's called a dubbing twister, and you can find it here: amzn.to/3Qp6VBA. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@Wess65GR]

Any fish you caught with that?

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Sure. Perch, trout and lot's of pike. But it should work great for any predator. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@samknape2362]

Bro I caught monster laker on this pattern from shore

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Woah, cool Sam. Great to hear this lure works for you as well. Cheers, Michael :0)
