OK I love the baits with the plastic curytail on them, but what's the best way of attching them? Drill a hole in the back of the lure, cut the head off a nail or screw and insert it, then super glue everything?

Best way is to do it the way Roger Watters (H2O Tackle) does it!

Looks like they put them in reversed. I'll have to look at them at the store.

A number of ways to do it depending on the size of the tail. For small tails superglue works (or some lure glue) that is I think is how Phantom does it. Tyrant uses a kind of a ribbed peg and glue I have been told. Cut off screws are used by some along with a hole in the back with a screw on others. I have used springs for half a dozen years or so on baits that I put tails on but you need to have the right spring for the size of tail. On the latest version of the HardHead I use drywall anchors (has to be the right type). Springs and anchors have advantages and disadvantages but both do the job, I am getting some custom made springs that I believe eliminates some of the disadvantages of springs. But you have to realize that on the large HardHead it has to hold on a full size Kalin tail not just the end.
