I use 50 pound Cortland Spectron at the Ditch. My set up is designed to fail at the jig not first , the leader knot second then in the spectron which I hope never happens but does sometimes when you get the line wrapped around something instead of just simply getting the jig stuck on the bottom.

I buy most of the curltails at the off season fishing shows like MSBA or RISSA , etc.

The question about the use of tail;s. Its certainly optional but I think i get better results using a tail on the bucktail jigs. Of course on the bare jigs you got to put something on there. I doubt they will bite a bare jig very often.
