I've got DC10's, DC Jrs, Eagle Tails, Mepps Magnum's and a lot of smaller bucktails, but no double 8's. Gonna make a purchase with R&H's free shipping this weekend. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about the Bucher Double 8 Tinsels.

Double showgirls are my favorite, although I only own 2 different brands of double 8's at the moment.

Well DCG JR's are magnum 8s, which is basically a 9. but showgirls are one of my favortie smaller bucktails, id go with one of those, or choose some color combinations not out there and make a few of your own.

The bucher 8s are nice, Id get the fluted blades for sure

Musky Underground also makes a great double 8. There is no website as of yet for him, but you can find an article written on Rippinlipoutdoors.com about them. He has awesome Marabou baits.

Thanks for all the suggestions. There are alot more than I knew about. I think I may have to try a couple. I definitely want to try one with the mylar skirt -Gerry's Girls sounds good as well as the Esox Assault...

Gerry's bucktails are top notch. Plenty of bucktails on the market that catch fish.

Dadsons or muskie underground blades. I have Adam redlins email for muskie underground if you want it. Both baits will catch fish and are built to last!
