| I almost exclusively throw double bladed bucktails except for a mepps marabou every now and again. Just wondering what are your most productive single bladed bucktails, big or small, as I might use them a little more this year to mix it up... |

| I am excited to try this. Big blade, small profile, single hook. Seems like I can work this well through weeds and in the spring

Location: Chicago | callworth,
Check out at Muskyshops the Bigg Slimm.....only weighs 1oz. but is a killer shallow single bladed bucktail.
There have been many times I've been pike fishing with nothing happening and I toss a Bigg Slimm and immediately hook up! Gotta be great for spring musky too. |

| Windel's Musky Harasser... I bought a few magnums this year and am excited to use them. Also my son wants to throw something a little bigger than his showgirl and I wont allow him to throw double tens yet, so hopefully the magnums run through the water nicely and he can use those. |

| Check out Janies's Flies. Single blades, weedless with a lot of options. They have worked great for me. |

| I also throw double-bladed bucktails the majority of the time, but at times a single-bladed bucktail can be more productive. We've seen multiple instances where fish are only reluctantly following twin 8's-10's, but for whatever reason, they'll chomp the smaller profile from a single-bladed bucktail. Obviously, in addition to profile, there is a different vibration from a single blade as well. Bucher 700 series and Hirsh orginal ghosttails are my standby's. |

| Just for fun, I only thru one bait all year. A Rizzo Wizz, I had a close friend join me in this endever. Between the two of us, we boated over 60 fish (he the majority). It is a great bait that is completely overlooked. |

Location: Watersmeet, Michigan | I've got a variety of Mepps Musky Killers and a couple Windel's that I like, also a few of Mark Rottier's bucktails. (Very nice and reasonably priced - R&M Musky Shop in Eagle River, WI) Like them all. Love to use them with my Curado 300 and burn them for all they're worth.

Location: Ashland WI | I see a few other guys like the Rizzo wiz as well.
I like the silver blade/white skirt. Small lure, but casts well. I have caught the majority of my fish on this lure.
In the new R&H's magazine, I see they make a double blade model and one that is a bit larger. Has anybody used them? |

| Depends on lake type and water conditions. Clear, deeper lakes, the Mepps Giant Killer. Shallower stained water, Mepps Musky Marabou. Kdawg |

Location: Minnesota | I would suggest picking a few different types and seeing which ones you like better. I love the old Windel's Harasser - the willowleaf blade was different than any other blade out there and caught lots of fish. Bucher's fluted Indiana blade is different yet and catches fish. Any well built lure with a nice single #8 Colorado blade will catch fish too - and they are burners. Inhalers or Rizzo's with the french blades are great lures too.
All depends on the water you fish, forage of the fish, clarity, etc..... but you should experiment with different types to see which you like best. Good Luck! |

| Why has there not been a double bladed Eagle Tail made yet? I'd probably buy em all.
I had a 45"+ fish follow an Eagle Tail for a few minutes during the George Wahl Tournament last year. That would have been awesome.... |
