divani Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 does anybody tie these themselves? I have been tying quite a few different models lately (I'll supply pics in the gallery when I have them developped). It's a lot of fun! now I hope I'll catch something on them! That would be awesome!

Big Splash Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 It seems like every one is (re)discovering the benifits of bucktail. It is great stuff. By the way, if anyone has a good source of quality, dyed bucktail please email me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divani Posted April 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 moore's lures deer tails! The tails have hair that is 5-6" long. It's died fairly good and there is little leftover on these tails. The ones that they sell in europe have short hair and about 1/2 of the tail is rubbish and unpainted.

Bushmaster Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 I haven't done any spinnerbaits in bucktail, but I am in the design process of a clear water bass jig in a crawfish pattern with a combination of natural hair and living rubber/silicone for use in water with sand/gravel bottoms with little or no wood or grass cover. I want to start with a non-weedless "football" jig, using the natural hair material for the top 1/2 to 2/3 of the lure. The living rubber/silicone will be used on the bottom 1/2 to 1/3 to imitate the "legs" of the crawfish. The addition of a realistic soft plastic crawdad would be the finishing touch. The problem is that I have no experience in jig or fly tying. I have always used collars to hold the material on the jighead. Does anybody have any links to simple (for the simple-minded) jig tying instructions on the internet? (preferably with good graphics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
