Can anyone recommend a really big bucktail 14"+ that is not excessively heavy, has free swinging hooks, doesn't twist in the water and will work reasonably shallow at a slow speed? I've ordered a cowgirl and an Eagle tail, but now I want something properly big!

XXX by Muskie Mojo sounds like it's right up your alley.
15" long, 4oz, .062 wire, double #10 colorado blades, three 7/0 mustad hooks (top two free swinging)
and for a slighter smaller profile take a look at the XX.

Does it come with an electric winch, or is that extra?
Actually, i got to throw a XX, it wasn't that bad with my 7000. Awesome bait, it's gonna take a big fish to eat that, I don't think they'll have trouble locating it. m

Definetly the XXX...Baldy and Jonesi do an incredible job with their baits and they are proven fish catchers...the 54 x 28 out of Steve's boat came on one of these XXX's in a custom color/style...give Baldy a PM and he'll take care of you...

Contact A-ROZ he makes some mighty nice stuff....He is making me a bucktail right now that makes the XXX look small. But the XXX is also a sweet bait and I will be purchasing one of them someday!

I throw the XX and the XXX, really a nice lure. Those blades really thump, and with the colder weather those baits with the pulsing maribou hair should work well. Nice because you can slow them down enough but still control your retrieve depth.

Black with nickel is the ticket!

Many thanks. The XXX will have to go on the list. Any ideas how or where to get the A-Roz?
