I tied up a couple bucktails one winter day using the last of a green and a red tail. I just didn't want to not use the hair. A couple days later a buddy and I slid the boat across the ice and hit the big river for some walleyes. He was digging thru my jigs and found those two ugly things and tied one on. After three or four casts he lost it. He tied the other one on and dropped it down only to have a big old walleye about 9 pounds crawl all over it. He had that fish mounted with that ugly jig in its mouth. I have a picture of that fish somewhere and if I can find it I'll scan it and post it.
I don't like either of those two colors apart or together. I like the plastic's profile though and that rat tail should really get fish hyped up. What is the size of that minnow head Bob?
