NIB:

What would you say are your most successful colors for bucktails and are you using trailers of the same or contrasting colors ?

Dark red bucktails work real well, i use them at nite all the time. A black trailer is a killer combo also.
I do keep a few chartruse and olive/white bucktails with me also, the olive seems to work when the bass are being fincky and the chartruse is good when its stormin.

natural colors like olive i always use a matching trailer.White i'll go red white an pink in that order.black gets red or blood red.Limew green, red.chartruse /match.I'll use pork rinds, rubber grubs, an fin-s fish, shad body's,& worms i will put just about anything on the tail end.mostly i change em up to have em work the depth i want .in other words pork sinks more that grubs which sink more than shad body's.I rapp the hook with some size E thread an add super glue to make my own grabbers this keeps the trailers on better.with these i can use any plastic an fire with no worrys bout the trailer coming down on the hook.

chartruce. or white.
thats what works for me, keep in mind thats a big jig, down 50-60 feet, from a boat. long red or white pork rind or even better marios squid strips. belly filet flaps too.no better stink than the stink itself.
whats a tube without the worm? useless..so there goes the red theory.bright lime green works too but if i had one jig it would be,ok two jigs,, white on one side and chartruce on the other side.
