| I’ve been toying with the idea of building a mold to make plastic bucktail blades, a familiar but new blade shape, a shape that takes advantage of the molding process. There is an endless variety of colors and plastics that could be run in this mold. In particular, what do you think of an invisible bucktail blade? Would you buy one?

| I'd give it a try. Obviously my success with it would dictate if I continued to use 'em. |

| They didn't work/sell on spinnerbaits in the late 70's , but I think people are much dumber now so it may work.Good luck. Pinky |

Location: London, England | I imagine they'd work well on spinnerbaits, but I expect they'd be difficult to get spinning on bucktails without making them quite thick. Be great to have blades that didn't rust or get the paint melted off by contact with soft plastics though! I'll field test some for you if you go ahead.  |

| I agree with the post above. You might run into problems with trying to get the blade heavy enough to hang down into the water and turn. I guess if you made a heavy enough weight forward bucktail it could work. It might be different enough to cause a strike, musky hunter that is. I see people spending up to $60 per lure that has that fancy title of "custom" on the paint job, so you never know.
Good luck and let me know if you ever make one; but I don't have $60!
