Great looking bucktails!

Well i didnt answer your question about if they will tangle. They prolly will cast a mile and tangle. How long is the bucktail? If its no longer than 7 inches you prolly dont have a need for a second treble. Most muskies hooked on a bucktail hits the back and gets hooked on the rear treble. But if it is 7 inches or longer you might wanna keep it on there. Also a single hook might keep it from tangling. Yea you cheated,we all cheat on our lures. I have used zip ties on silicone and flashabou and after awile the zip ties wear out and loosen. I still think you should tie it on but thats your preference. Also you could add some glue around and on the ziptie.

Thank you Spike a Pike-Good looking tail there,one thing though,you need too secure the silicone better too the wire,that rubber isnt goping too hold after a few muskies hit it. I might suggest a wire coil spring or a skirt body. EC- http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11791 it was my spike it blade dip thread. And here's the link too it.

I haven't posted anything in along time so i thought i would show a few of my bucktails i have bee making in the off season. Most of them have double 8's colorado. One has a single colorado and the other has double 7's indiana blades. Any questions feel free too ask.

smirkplug thank you!

EC the size 13's can be bought at MooresLures or Hagans! Here is a couple links of the new 13's some guys have made! Also there is a size 16 blade out there! the 13's are 4" long and the 16's are 6" long! I dont really know the thickness but im guessing either 0.40 like the size 10's. http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=39388&posts=12&start=1 http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=39688&posts=9&start=1 http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=39583&posts=17&start=1

thank you very much

cadman thank you! Another question,kinda stupid though! Is the bottle big enough too dip the really big blades like the new 13's?

Has anyone ever used the Spike-it BladeDip? http://www.barlowstackle.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=6&Product_ID=1862&CATID=70

Dude you need too add a giant propeller blade or a flaptail too hte back of it,that would really make it noisy!

You need too buy a pair of locking round nose pliars, i picked up mine off ebay,but i bet you could find them other places. I also use small needlenose vise grips when i make loops.

Here's another one i made for my other bucktails and inlines. I using small hooks on the dial rods and sides,this one is a little bit more complicated,possitioning the hooks so you can get them off easily and so they wont fall off. I ran outa hooks after i broke a few off trying too screw them into the dials.

Well i needed a box for my spinnerbaits so i did some searching for a cheaper method of storing them,took a few ideas and put together a cheaper,effective,and secure way too store my lures. I bought the plastic tote at dollarstore $4,dial rod $.59 & some left over plywood and screws. I used a file too notch out the grooves so they would stay in place. The box locks and has a handle,it holds about 20 spinnerbaits. I'm going too make another one or two for my bucktails and other inlines i have made.
