I very rarely catch on a bucktail over 4 Oz. In situations with a fast drift/strong current requiring 6+ oz’s my bucktail is basically a sinker with a hook that will occasionally catch fish. I would be interested in hearing what most people’s success rate is with the larger bucktails. Most larger fish I personally have seen caught have been on 3 Oz or less.

I have used the 7/0 or 8/0 hook with large strip baits as a teaser and done well.

Have caught lots of fluke in deep fast water on bucktails from 8-16 Oz.
Need to be swimming the jig , not dragging or bouncing it
