The first jig i ever used! black bucktail with a #11 pork frog.

In the mid 70s till early 80s this was the hottest NEW way to catch big bass. This bait and how to fish it were pioneered right here in the Ozarks!

Great video Chris, I’m loving the videos

Thanks.

[@alansmith6144]

Good stuff, Chris! Started fishing a black, banana head, 1/2 oz, bucktail jig with an Uncle Josh eel in the 70's. Ran out of UJ many years ago so now use a plastic stick worm for a trailer. I love these videos that stir up good memories!

[@aspiringtournamentanglerch7277]

thank you!! I know some guys doing the same thing with the stick worm.

Great story. I really enjoy your content. Bucktails are still popular here in East Tennessee, where I fish. My FIL was an incredible smallmouth fisherman using these with an Uncle Josh trailer.

[@aspiringtournamentanglerch7277]

I figured they were popular out there.. OL smaljaws loves um! Thanks for watching!

[@RandyCopeland-x9k]

Fished with Huland back in the day, was amazing to watch him swim that jig thru the cedar trees

[@aspiringtournamentanglerch7277]

The master!!!

[@davidlannom4355]

I hadn’t thought about it but I’ve been tying Bucktails for 50 years. Dad & I sold them in 1970s till 1990s , striper and bass jigs on Lake Texoma. He sold business in 1990s. I have a very soft spot for Bucktails , tied some yesterday. Used a stingray grub as a trailer sometimes.

[@aspiringtournamentanglerch7277]

You know what I'm sayin when they are special!

Thanks Chris for another classic. Arkansas Custom Tackle everyone!

[@stevenculver6416]

Lots of guys miss the versatility of this....always loved swimming a jig etc...i believe there is no right or wrong

[@aspiringtournamentanglerch7277]

You are correct!!

[@jamesshelley5912]

Another great video Chris!!! Any recommendations for channels for new anglers? Also, it blows my mind how much you look like Wendell!

[@SpookyRedz]

My start with a jig was an Arkie jig , I still have all my jig heads too , but when Stanley’s came out Arkie fell out for me .

[@aspiringtournamentanglerch7277]

Stanley were great jigs with much better paint and weedgards at the time!

[@johnmorganjr769]

Used to have these thin pork strips that would undulate...years ago. Wish I could find some or make some. Green colored.
