Who makes the biggest blades? Does anyone know of any bucktails with #14, #15 or bigger blades?

Thanks

That would be a good name for them, Karl! The Musky Safari one with the number 20 (T-Rex) is just a single blade. I saw one the other day and the overall weight of the bucktail felt kind of light, I thought. But it would interesting to see it in the water. I believe the dimensions on the blade are 5 3/8" x 3 1/2".

I made a single out of a #20.
The problem is you cannot burn it...it's more of a whump...whump...whump.

You can burn the #20s but the blade doesn't spin - the rest of the bait actually spins around the blade.
