Alternative for bucktail on jigs?
Looking to make up more smilin bill jigs because I'm running low and friends are asking for some. I've tied bucktails on my jigs in the past but was wondering if there's a more economical and less time consuming way of dressing the jigs up. I was looking through Jann's Netcraft and found rubber skirts which would probably fit the bill. The one I'm looking at claims to "breathe" when being retrieved. Has anyone ever tried this before? Does the jig really need the bucktail? Any opinions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
