| As I'm getting deeper into for muskie I was advised to invest in some more bucktails. And so after some research, this is a list I came up with, roughly in order of preference. I'd also prefer to spend $15 a piece or less and definitely not more than 20. Thoughts? Comments? Insults? Any and all advice and feedback is welcome. Thanks |

I had the same curiosity, here is what people polled a few weeks ago. |

Location: Waukee, IA | You can find almost any brand under $20 if you're patient and get them on sale/clearance. Gently used ones from the buy/sell/trade forum are good also. Making your own is a better option yet for under $20/per |

| I stumble into cowgirls for under $20 quite frequently, but never know when/where it's going to happen. |

Location: Chisholm, MN | I've been throwing the Mini 8's Bigtooth Juice bucktails a lot lately, as opposed to larger sizes. Those will be in your price range and have a different look to them than standard flashabou bucktails. Fish really seem to react to it. |

| I'm pretty partial to Spanky's and Llungen bucktails. Not sure if you are going to find many new for $20 or less, though. |

| The Bigtooth tackle juice series bucktails have been a staple in my boat for the last two years. The well thought out design has made all the difference in my success. |

| +1 for the JUICE. Throwing hair/Maribou the last few years has been a real plus. I think a lot of us, including myself, get attracted to the tinsel a little to much. Muskies never stopped biting Maribou  |

| I prefer marabou because I tie my own now, don't fish much, and the added weight they hold from the water helps reduce backlashes. They aren't Professional Overruns for me, they are annoying backlashes... |

| Been using Musky Metal bucktails a lot the last two years and I really like them. The only thing I do is add a front hook on them, other than that, no complaints at the price point. |

| Hard to beat the original double 10 makers (cowgirls) and big fan of ghosttails and the new window makers by kramer brothers. |
