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.

Thank You Sam I may be new to making BTs 35 years and I do use gulp,squid,strip baits so I am guilty of offsetting the balance of the perfect jig. but IMHO THEY WORK
