The basic dark purple bucktail jig is built from the bucktail hair left over after our regular bucktail jigs are built. The hair is a mixture of the second layer of bucktail which is the white that has been dyed purple and the back of the bucktai which is natural brown dyed purple. The hair is of the same great texture but in some cases is shorter in length. Thus giving the bucktail a shorter profile. These work great when a shorter presentation is being used or when they are used as an attractor with live bait or plastics. The basic bucktail give you color and movement in the water. The fibers of the bucktail give you that subtle movement in the water and the color of the jig head attracts the fish. The red of the feather is a trigger to the fish.
