    Default Bucktail Mold Question

    So I bought a mold last year. I made a batch and the turned out pretty good but I don't think the hooks are big enough. When I put them in the mold and close it they will still shift a little causing them to be off center. I'm guessing I need a hook with a bigger diameter. Any ideas?

    I'll be a product tester for you. I work on the rockfish pretty hard and fish bucktails for two months before live bait.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    I'll tie you up a few. Caught a few on the ones I tied last year. Just ordered another mold.

    Color doesn't matter. It's all about the trailer tail motion.

    They'll hit a flip flop if you glue a decent trailer worm to it.

    What have you found to be the most effective trailer? I've put flukes and curly tails on mine with pretty good success. To be honest I called a bunch up without any trailer

    Striper Striker worms.

    I never use trailer hooks, and I honestly don't miss any fish when bucktail jigging. Looks like it would help with smaller fish though.
