Bucktails Jigs are one of the greatest, all time, lures for catching Striped Bass. They are available in a WIDE variety of colors and sizes. BUT, if I had to pick one to fish the rest of my life with… give me WHITE!

In addition, we would highly recommend using some kind of trailer on a bucktail. Something like a twister tail, or my personal favorite, pork rind.

Many people have a tendancy to over-fish a bucktail by hoping and jigging it along. Nine times out of ten, a nice slow and steady retrieve is all that is necessary.
