Bucktail Question

[Mugz]

Been fishing an area for a few years and have had mixed results on different lures. Plugs, topwater, rubber shads, bait, etc, etc. With many outings getting the skunk in a very fishy area. Last year for sh^ts and giggles I threw on a bucktail with a yellow curly tail. Hooked up within my first 10 casts. Ever since then, I will never treat the bucktail with the same attitude. It produces....when all else fails.

there is a good reason buck tail jigs are included in most survival kits.. they work on any predatory fish under a wide variety of conditions.. day or night.. salt or fresh.. if I could have one lure.. fresh or slat water it would be a white buck tail jig..

Had a similar experience this morning, nothing was working plugwise, after an hour of nothing i finally put a 3/4oz white jig with a 55 s uncle josh pork rind, first cast... fish... caught 12 fish total with a few keepers
