How to use a Bucktail Jig for Striped Bass | Pt. 2 with Underwater Footage

Here Matt continues where Ian McPartland left off! Fishing with a Bucktail is one of the most effective ways to catch and find fish. Since the dawn of time the classic Bucktail has been catching fish of all sizes and species. For Matt it is usually one of the first lures out of his bag once he gets to a spot.
This Bucktail gets taken to the next level once Matt added a Grub and a Dartspin.

Ahh... just noticed you're from Goose Hummock. Nice! Thank you for this demo. I'm-a rig some up just like this.

Great stuff once again. Love the tank

[@Kallan_Orcutt]

Nice video! I’m going to try this but I don’t have a tail like you do, will it still work?

[@tonygarcia5081]

Great video man! Still trying to catch my first Striper. I’m gonna grab some of these and give it a try.

[@GooseHummock]

Good luck! having a Bucktail on should hopefully do the trick!

This was dope

Great video. My favorite lures for stripers are the bucktail, sand eel and flukes. I was using a whole live mackerel this one day when I was after a 40 plus inch striper but I hooked a great white shark instead while fishing fom my kayak. Part of my video was recently used on the Discovery Channel episode called The Great White North. Toss me a subscription if you like, I only need a couple more to get 1000 :) Cheers

What ounce bucktail do you recommend for the surf?

[@GooseHummock]

It really depends on the current that you are working with. The more current the heavier the jig should be to make sure that you can get to the bottom quicker. I'd say we usually are using 1 to 1.5 Oz Bucktails from the Surf but sometimes we will have to bump that up to go with the conditions we are dealing with. Hope that helped!
