Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Taking the good information from the Windowmaker Bucktail thread this is what I heard as a review on them. They look really good in the water, spin easily upon beginning of retrieve, and give off a ton of flash. The design of the top hook is also very nice in keeping the flashabou from hanging up on the hook. Just be forewarned that it may appear some of the “flashy” material is coming off after some use. The Mfg’r ensures us that the blade will not lose it’s flash, and what appears to be a loss of flash material is just a cosmetic appearance.
I found this to be good information from the reviewer as well as the mfg’rers additional info on the tails, and probably info that others will find useful when using the product as well.

Location: West Metro, MN | I picked one up yesterday primarily because it is something slightly different. Will have to wait a couple more weeks to see if the muskies agree |

Location: Iowa | I picked one up at the Fargo, ND scheels last year and for the 45 minutes i was able to use it at night (lost it in minute 46 to the rocks) the thing was super bright for the whole cast under a full moon. I will be getting a few more of these innthe future. |

Location: Chisholm, MN | Got mine in the mail yesterday and threw it last night. Had four small fish come up and miss the bait. When the sun is shinning on the blades, it is almost to bright to look at. I love it already! |

| I bought one before my vacation, and landed a 38", and then lost another one the next evening. I had my son try it after that, but my trolling motor fried twice, so we were just trying some drifts. He didn't like that as much, so we didn't fish as much that last couple days. Nice and Bright, and will probably look for another one down the road. |
