So who is making there own knock-off Kraemer Brothers Revolution bucktails? I have made about a half dozen so far and they look great and run awesome. With all due respect the price of the originals is just comical. There is less actual material involved than a standard double bladed bucktail. | |||

Just cutting them out myself nothing fancy at all and with hand tools. Luckily I am not needing to make 100s of them. | |||

I haven't drills the hole in this blade yet or bent it but I think you get the idea. The tape is 3M reflective DOT from Amazon. Attachments ---------------- image.jpeg (116KB - 703 downloads) | |||

After a quick impatient search I settled on a stainless steel kick plate. I am sure something cheaper and better exists but that's what i went with. | |||

Posts: 815 Location: Waukee, IA | I made one with an aluminum blade. I made a post titled "aluminum bow tie blade bucktail" a couple weeks ago about it with a picture. It got me a 44.5" muskie on its first outing. The marabou I put on it looks bad as it's scavenged from a tie I did years ago. The blade itself works pretty well but I think I'll back off from 1/8" aluminum and go with 1/16". I also want to try rounding off the leading edge a little for better hydrodynamics. | ||
