Location: Grand Rapids MN | I was just on the lake a little bit ago burning tails and the Buck-a-boo was a nice alternative when I would get a little sore. Plus the wind was blowing and they are heavy for their size. So they cast nice and stay down. I moved a low 40"er on it and had it chasing boat side around and around and around but never ate. I was also burning Mepps marabou with a big twister tail. Rides higher in the water and has some resistance but not to bad. Had a nice 46-47" follow in and chase that one around the boat also for ever.. I don't know what was up with these fish but I was almost to the point of trying to snag them if they chased it around any longer.. Go figure.. |

Location: The Yahara Chain | Indiana #8 blade with a 3/4 ounce keel weight. It can be retrieved way faster than anything with a Colorado blade. French blades work good also, but I prefer the Indiana blade. I am talking pure speed, don't give a fish a chance to think. I make my own.
Burn baby burn. |

| i suppose "burning" is a relative term.
lures with double blades or bigger colorado blades can be reeled fast, but is that really burning? and at a certain speed all that lift equates more to "bulging" at high speed than "burning" at depth.
i really like the Tri-glide by TNT. although they have double blades, they're quite small so the lure stays down and the blades will spin easily every cast and keep spinning when going full-tilt-boogie.
a Mepps Killer and a generic marabou with double-pointed willow blade are my choice for something fast but a bit deeper.

| just about any small bucktail, even those with double blades can be burned, yes burned...bell sinkers put on the back split ring to add weight will keep any bucktail down... |

Location: minocqua, wi. | i still don't understand the difference between a piece of wire, some weight, and a blade ... other than the blade difference for lift and flash and weight for casting and depth ... a bucktail is a bucktail is a bucktail ... is there really "brand" preference on bucktails as long as all things are equal?
color, weight and blade type ... and almost all of them can be "burned" ... depends on how badly you want to damage your body doing it ...

| Mepps Giant Killers. I prefer bucktails with willow blades for burning because I believe this can achieve maximum flash, especially for clear water. I know bucktails with french blades are used as well, but isn't the flash what you what to achieve in burning in the first place? Willows all the way. Kdawg |

Location: Racine, Wi | I have to say I like the giant killers, as you can burn them in at mach 10, but they won't kill ya by the end of the day.
Although, out of the list above, there might be a few others I have to try. I like the inline blade thing, but haven't really thrown them yet.

| False Tail made by G.P. Thumper tackle Co. Similar to the no longer made Tru-Tail(originated in green Bay WI), this lure was brought to my attention by Chuck Schauer back in the 'day', and it is still a good one. Simple as many of the above, and I am sure not much different. 7-8" long, fairly thinly tied(either hair, flash, sili or combo), heavily weighted, with twin frenchies allow for some real burnin' speeds. I like the original Harrasser too, great burner, as is the old willow Inhalers.

| Well the name is kind of an oxymoron. The FLOATING BUCKTAIL made by Muskie Catcher Lures has been my best producing bucktail for over ten years. There are different sizes and blade styles however, all the baits have balsa bodies which makes them very bouyant to neutral....which makes them great for burning over weeds and when you find the hole within the weeds you can drop them down and BHAM!!!!
They've worked well for me with fish up to 48" being caught on the small size single blade. Check em out!
