Cuttem Jack Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Here's my first attempt at some bucktails. I tied the flashabou with thread and cemented, then added zip ties for added strength. All have 8 colorado blades except the two on the end have 10's. The first one is a silicone skirt(3 of them on a long coil). The second is regular flashabou, third is marabou, and the rest is flashabou fly fiber. The fly fiber is the way to go in my opinion. Stiffer and easier to work with. Any comments or suggestions on making them any better? The skoal can is for size reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I like 'em. I just wish the weather would warm up just a little into the mid-40s long enough for the snow and ice around Lake Kinkaid, IL to go away so musky season can begin. For the most part the water was open for New Years day and some of the locals 75 miles from here posted muskys caught on Jan 1st. Any idea what the wieght is? Just curious... I take your ready to break the cabin fever too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
