Rainbow makes great jig heads off of Gammy hooks and their painted heads are done very nicely. First Cast Jigs makes some awsome nickle and brass heads on Ownerhooks...they are deadly! I've been using both these for tying up my salmon and steelie jigs with great success. The First Cast Jig heads are a bit larger and the hooks are beefier. Can't go wrong either way. I've been getting my x-cut rabbit strips from the Fly Shoppe in Welches, OR. No tax and no shipping on whole skins for like $9.
