Well have fished the Bucktail more each year, started this thread in June of 2013 and have caught more fish on them each year.
I am better at catching in stronger current (2 and 3 oz bucktails), just a few bass in the open surf (less than 2 oz and inlet slack, but working on it).
This fall picked up my PB Bass on a 3 oz Bucktail and Fat Cow Jig Strip. Was awesome fun, great to see swim away.
No way I would have caught that bass without fishing that 3 oz bucktail, it was deep and in strong current.
I will never underestimate the usefulness of the bucktail, at times (conditions) likely the only artificial that will catch.
