Re: Specialty bucktails
The price of fishing the sticky stuff is too high (I built several artificial reefs using Spros) so all I use now are unpainted jigheads tipped with Gulp! and Spearing. A teaser 12to14" above the jig is also tipped with Gulp! and spearing.
I've found that Gulp! + Spearing outfishes Gulp! alone.
The biggest jig I use is 8 oz.. More than that & I just use a heavy sinker with 2 droppers above.
Coupla' tricks I've picked up:
* Use small hair-band to keep Gulp! from slipping down hook (see pic)
* When trimming 6" grubs to 5", cut 1" off the head. You can then cut round thin slices off of the 1" piece to 'lock' your spearing on the hook. If you saw how quickly I jig, the hooked-thru-the-eyes-Spearing would fall right off without the 'lock'
* Stinger hook helps improve hookup rate
Looking forward to hearing everyone's tips . . . .
