Default Re: Bucktailing info

Most times if I'm bucktailing in any more then 20 feet and a moving tide, I'm using 3 or 4 ounce bucktails. Sometimes you'll need a 6 to hold and if that's not enough, I usually switch over to bait and sinkers.

As mentioned above, it's best to keep the bucktail as straight up and down as possible to impart the best action... Braided line is a big plus as well since the smaller line diameter allows you to hold bottom with less weight then you would with mono.
