Muskie Bucktails

[BrumettBoys]

Hi, my name is Billy I am 15 years old and I am new to this site. I would like to start making Cowgirl or DC-10 type bucktails here in a couple of weeks. I have never made a bucktail before and I am looking for a couple of tips on how to get started.

Thanks in advance

Hello Billy.

1) Welcome to Tackleunderground. There is alot on TU to help you along. If you go into the Forums area, you will come across a section called Member Submitted Tutorials. We have information on bending .062 wire bending, building a musky spinner, dressing bucktailed treble hooks, just to mention a few. As you start to get some skills, you may want to branch out and try making a few gliders or jerk baits, soft plastics, flt tying, rod building, etc.

2) You are going to need a few hand tools to bend the wire for your inline spinners. A heavy duty Round Nose Pliers, Long Nose Vise-Grip Locking Pliers, Diagonal Cutting Pliers, and maybe a small Bolt Cutter.

3) You will need to pick a supplier.

Stamina - http://staminainc.com/

Moore's - http://www.mooreslures.com/

Barlows - http://barlowstackle.com/

These are just a few for guys that are just starting out.

4) There is a list of materials required for making spinners in the bending musky spinners tutorials.

Hope this gets you started and I'm sure there will be more members with more advice. I learn something new here every day. Enjoy, good luck, and be sure to post a few pictures after you get started. After you get started, it all gets alittle adicting.
