bgcountry00 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 The only place that I have been able to find it is at the punisher jigs website. http://www.punisherlures.com i ordered a bunch still waiting to get it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickerel Pete Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Picked some up from Janns Netcraft a while ago. Makes a nice jig but it's not bucktail for sure. More action, nice shape but I found it looked matted towards the head. Think both have their place. Hope this helps. Garry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I think the craft hair is good for freshwater jigs. I got some Punisher hair for float and fly jigs and it works fine for that. But saltwater bucktails is a whole 'nother thing and IMO craft hair won't last long in that environment. I'd order a calf tail from Jann's or Cableas, etc for bucktail jigs. The hair is longer, thicker and will be much more durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
