ravenlures Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Just two questions? Do you find silicone skirts to hold up better than buck tails. Also mixing flashabou in with the silicone would tie it or just slip it on. This is on 8" and 10" bucktails. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkill Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I see a lot of old lures with usable bucktail but very few with good silicone. As for the other, I always tie versus the slip on when I can. It just seems to build a better/stronger longer lasting lure. I'm sure there are those who will argue but that's my point of view.

predator lures Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 No offence, but who buys bucktails to hold up, I buy and make them to get ripped apart. If I create one to that does I would trash the color or blade scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big ger Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Not a good idea to mix flashabou and silicone. They tend to stick together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
