Bucktail Question

[puppet]

The majority of the fish I get are on bucktails.

The skinner book helped me a lot when I started.

Dialing the right weight for the conditions... then adjusting the weight from there is key.

Its the balance between positive contact with the bucktail and the bottom while retrieving at the slowest speed possible.

There are other techniques and the above method is not a rule...but it is what works the best for me.

Still trying to master it.

1 to 2 oz white Smilin' Bill with white Mogambo curly tail is my go to bucktail, always seems to work best. I've good luck with a Spofford bullet head in chartreuse over sand in the daytime.
I usually retreive pretty slow, with an occassional dart. Hang up a bunch but I've caught pretty good size fish this way.
