kingfish Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Try drilling a small hole in the bait and epoxy the feather shaft into it. I've used small finishing nails with bucktail tied to them with good results, just drill a hole and plug it with the nail and bucktail combo along with lots of epoxy and make sure the nail head is inside or flush with the baits exterior.

cotton Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I was also interested in possibly using feathers or bucktail for fins or tails for both hard and plastic swimbaits; I have a castaic swimbait that the tail is mutilated that would make a good candidate for experimentation. Let us know... Cotton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzimmerman Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Why don't you just tie the feathers or bucktail to the hook on the back of the plug? that way you can replace them if you have too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
