Every day is different.
One thing has been very consistent over the years bucktailing and that is to make sure you tip your hook with a spearing or something. Time and time again you get a hit and once the spearing is gone no hits until until you put another spearing on.

Thanks Jerry for the really interesting info. WHo would have thought that dead sticking could work better than jigging
One question about the spearing. If you are using a high low setup, would the spearing go on the heavier bottom bucktail or both?
