Terminal tackle carries Blue Frog.
Boater's World has Uncle Josh bucktails.
Both have swing hooks.

I second the Blue Frogs I use them in the 1/2 oz -1 oz sizes and they work great. The hook on the larger sizes seems kind of small as I prefer a7/0 or 8/0 hook.

Not swing hook,
But Skip Cornell (Hotjigs) makes some of the best jigs around (Lots of the commercial fleet in Green Harbor, Plymouth, Cape, ect... us them)
He uses high quality stainless hooks.

IMO, the words "swing hook bucktails" and "best" don't belong in the same sentence. There is no such thing as the "best" of something that inherently sucks.  |
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
