Abstract: The invention consists of a novel form of bucktail jig which uses a hook having lead-weighted head that is formed with a longer, longitudinally extending bucktail hair mass, coupled with a shorter, generally omnidirectionally extending mass of rubber strands. The bucktail jig is made utilizing a novel form of scored rubber strip in combination with bucktail hair as tied about the rearward portion of the jig head, and subsequently the scored rubber strip is tensioned and cut to separate into a plurality of rubber strands of differing weight and texture as compared to the bucktail hair mass. The total effect is a unique and repeatable action and appearance.
