[The Sinker Man]

You will never get the proper balance on the jig unless you use just the bucktail without any additions added to it. I don't care what size hook you use as soon as you add a trailer hook, piece of squid , gulp or anything else you make the bucktail back heavy...
Not an argument Tony, I'm sure that you have spent alot of time and effort to make a good bucktail...
I don't bucktail, but if I did I would probably pick up a few of Palmers bucktails at one of the sponsor shops that carry them.
