I've been using bucktail jigs since the early 70's. Always had an uncle Josh pork rind on them. Best lure ever still. I was a fan of the barracuda brand and Andrus makes one very similar. I have 4 originals left. 2 2oz and 2 4 oz. almost afraid to use them! Literally just loaded up today on a batch of andrus and got off the water an hour ago. sea bass, stripers, and blues all on those. I think most new lures lure fishermen more than fish. i go all white whenever i can. I use them jigging, surf cast, and cape cod canal. Don't need much else when you know how to use them. So glad the pork rind is coming back !

Great lure! I caught my 2nd largest striped bass on a bucktail and believe I lost what would have been my largest several years earlier. Very versatile and easy to unhook the fish since it's only a single.

Lol didn't know the grammar police would be here... Low and slow with the retrieve... try SP minnows bucktails or small soft plastics plenty of fish around and a massive amount of small juvenile bait in the harbors and under dock lights...
