I bet they are easy to hop along the bottom.  |
LOL! That's funny Sambolie. But really, the rabbit hair really comes alive with motion with very little action on your part. Even just a little bit of current makes it move wildly when still on the bottom. Drove fish wild when I used it back in Wisconsin in late fall before the ice would cover the lakes. Marabou is very similar, but I personally think rabbit hair works better. But that just may be more of a confidence thing on my part. Plus it imitates a lot of things living on the bottom: crayfish in the 1/4 and 1/8 oz sizes, smaller sizes imitate aquatic insects scurrying along. My theory is that bass on the bottom don't move much in the winter, so they take advantage of aquatic insects more. The hard thing for me has been finding them, especially smallies!
