| I read somewhere that silicone skirted bucktails are easier to cast in the wind and was wondering if this is true? I am new to baitcasters and musky fishing and don't get much practice. So, I get a frequent backlashes when casting bucktails into the wind. Although, I did do much better last fall. But, any edge will help me when I do make my summer and fall trips. | |

Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished | If you can avoid it, don't cast directly straight into the wind. If you want to fish a wind blown spot, try to find a way you can cast at it sideways. Otherwise "strategic overruns" (backlash) may be an issue.
As far as your question goes. I suppose silicone would be a little easier to cast into the wind as it stays a little more tight to the metal wire. However don't let this dictate what you are going to use, it may cast better into the wind, but if you don't practice with the tinsel you never going to get any better at it. Also the Marabou and the flashabou is better for lifelike presentations (if there is such a thing in bucktails) IMO. | |
