Location: Lincoln, NE | Different variations of Eagle Tails. Sometimes when they are a little more reluctant to bite I think they prefer the subtle action of the lure's body movement over the massive vibration of other bucktails and they just can't resist them. |

| Dreamcatchers! The reverse tie creates a nice visual. We do well on them. |

| Spanky 8's have become my favorite small bucktail. Blades spin right away every time....is heavier for better casting, and can be burned faster.

| That's easy for me, Musky Candy because they pull easy, put out a fair amount of vibration, and I've caught a ton of fish on them over the years. |

| Musky harassers. The thick willow blade just seems to work for me. Relatively cheap while still using decent components. |

| Is it pretty common for showgirls to not spin right away...sometimes I feel like I am working a jerk bait and not a bucktail to get them started haha |

Location: Poynette WI. | A single #8 colorado tied myself, either marabou or bucktail. Orange blade with white skirt has been the hottest combo for the year. I also like using a rizzos with Colorado blade at less than 8$ and always catches fish. |

Location: McGuire AFB, NJ | HAHA I think we've covered every small bucktail on the market! Two baits (other than llungen) that I love to toss.
1) Mepps Marabou (Why: you can slow roll these)
2) Mepps #5 (everyone throws big stuff)
Still have them and throw them. Bagged countless fish on the #5. Doesn't have to be big to catch fish....  |

| Hands down- spanky fireballs.
Caught more fish on them this year than I've caught on any other bait. Even when the Bucktail bite is supposedly off, they are hitting them. Durable as hell, never had to do much in the way of repairs even after bigger fish.
Great folks to work with and quick to process even custom orders too.
Wish I'd heard of them before I bought the other couple of hundred buck tails I own...

| buchertail's, mepps giant killers, and northland something's. I throw them all, especially from shore. Haven't nailed anything over 42 on them, but there have been multiple occasions where i picked up fish after my buddies worked a stretch for and hour with big baits. |

| Spanky Fireballs for sure. Blades start spinning immediately. Heavy duty and hold up well and most of all catch fish. |
