Dude

you've got some, TRY THEM. You may find something that works FOR YOU that no one else is using. Gottog doesn't use anything over 2oz and loves chartreuse and I don't use anything UNDER 3oz and love white; and we BOTH catch fish. It's not hard and fast........that's why they make lures/jigs in every color.

Keep the info flowing boys....this is becoming a kick azz thread....with info for all .....thats whats it all about.....sharing some info that will make us all better anglers!

Now here's is one of my tips for bucktailing that I have found to work well.

Apply bunker oil or shedder crab oil to the bucktail hair .... this drives the fish crazy...you will notice a oil slick come off of the bucktail and once that oil slick stops time to re apply.....try it...you will like it and so will them fluke! I caught some 8 lb fish last year using this method.....no other bait was needed!

Since the original thread was moved to the Best Of Forum & no longer seems to be accepting any additional posts. I wanted to add to what was said in the last post of that thread.

Someone made the suggestion to soak the bucktail hair with either bunker or shedder crab oil.

Instead of using the above mentioned, try using the GULP spray as it is not as messy and it comes in squid, shrimp, herring & crab scents to name a few.

Here's a tip for those that use stinger hooks w/ long strip baits.

instead of buying open eyelet hooks, dealing with surgical tubing, rubber bands to keep the hook on. I use dip and grip on the eyelet to keep the hook on. Works great!

I purchased some stinger hooks that were made like that commercially.

All you need are some O'shaunessey hooks and the Plasti-dip you didn't use from winter flounder season.
