I never seem to keep one long enuff to have a favorite. Catch more on the teaser anyway.

Got some home made purple ones I can't wait to try. Is it May yet?

Re: Favorite Bucktail
 

Last year I purchased some 4oz custom jigs in guppy style from a local jig maker. They worked out well. Chart/White with a bluefish belly strip & stinger hook got me a pb of 8# at the rocks in early August.

Re: Favorite Bucktail
 

had the most success with plain round bucktails in white or chartreuse....

favorite is any one I make myself...nothing beats catching fish with your own stuff

Re: Favorite Bucktail
 

1 oz to 3 oz glow white powder coated and clear coated twice with over sized glow eyes. Owner 5/0 to 6/0 hook with chart or white natural bucktail, not synthetic. Spro is good but the paint chips very easily, and the tail is not tied tight enough so the hair loss is quick. They offer every paint color in glow so you can make whatever combo of glow heads and tail feather you choose.

A buddy of mine makes my bucktails for me...he uses the guppy mold previously mentioned...his bucktails boxed a lot of fluke for me last summer.

Also agree with the teaser comments - sometimes that's all they want but most of my bigger fish were on the bucktail
