Last season when my bucktailing attempts stalled, I made a couple of spinner rigs adorned with blades from my steelhead stockpile, Wow, on given days I would never be w/o one. They slam it harder than a B tail & it's on my permanent rig status from now on. I've since upgraded to a variety of bodies that fit our color schemes & larger spinners, by season end I'll let you know how I did. So far so good.

When I was in Dicks yesterday I saw a whole section of spinners with bucktail skirts and 3/0 hooks and said to myself. These look like they would kill the Fluke. Granted I was in the freshwater section, but a hook is a hook.

Do you think you can take a picture of what you're using? If you want you can send me a list and I can annotate it in photoshop for you and add it to my original post with credit to you. Anything to give us all an edge.

/edit - BTw Thanks for the compliment Gerry. Those were fun to make. I got to use my colored pencils to draw something other than lamp dimensions for clients.
