Rig our SUPER-REALISTIC Bucktails for Spin- Bait Casting, Fly Casting, or Big Game Fishing (Directions Below)

1)Spinning or Bait Casting: Fish them just like a lead head jig. Using this DEADLY rigging technique you can catch: Bass, Walleye, Pike, Salmon, Bluefish, Cod, Stripers, Sea Bass, Lingcod, Redfish, Big Trout, Dorado, Tuna and Many Others!!

(Above) Our 4" Herring Grand Slam (green) rigged for Spin-Baitcasting. (Below) Shows all the components.

Rigging: Use 2-3 ft of 10 to 20 lb. mono for leader. Tie end of leader to a worm hook (Eagle Claw L95JB, size 3/0 to 5/0 or similar hook). Thread fly onto leader and slide down over hook. Thread a 3/16" bead, and egg or bullet sinker (1/4 to 2 oz.) onto leader, and slide down to fly. Push a wood toothpick into hole at end of sinker, and bend to side to break excess off. Tie end of leader to swivel and mainline. Fish just like you would a lead head jig.

Or you can rig all the components directly onto your mainline instead of a leader!

Option: add a swimming tail to fly- use 3-6" curlytail plastic worm.

2)Fly fishing: This is our standard setup for fish up to about 30 lbs in size. If you're after really BIG GAME FISH you'll have to up-size your leader, hooks, and fly rod accordingly!!

Use a 9 to 12 weight fly rod and line, 24" of stiff 10 to 20 lb.mono for tippet. Tie hook to one end (we recommend Mustad 3407 size 3/0 to 5/0 or Mustad 92608 size 1 to 1/0). Thread fly onto tippet and slide down to hook. Push a wood toothpick into hole at the nose of fly and bend to side to break excess off. Tie other end of tippet to your tapered leader on your fly rod (use a barrel knot here).

3) BIG GAME FISH: Marlin or Tuna and Dorado use our 6" MAGNUM Grand Slam Bucktail, or our 4" models if they're feeding on smaller baitfish.

Rigging: Use 6 ft of 40 to 130 lb mono for leader. Tie 6/0 to 10/0 tuna hook to one end. Thread fly, 2 plastic beads and 2 to 4 oz. egg sinker onto leader (or omit egg sinker if you like). Tie end of leader to swivel and mainline. Troll rig at 4 to 8 knots, 40 to 80 ft. behind boat.

Another option is to use a 1" dia. and 1" long piece of closed cell foam with the fly. Poke a hole through foam w/a needle. Thread this onto your leader in front of your fly (available @ your local hardware store). When fast trolled behind a boat, this set-up creates a ton of commotion (splashing, bubbles, and a wake). This is just what these top water ambushers love and can be DEADLY at times.

One customer surface trolled our 6" Magnum off the back of their sailboat @ 8 knots (between Hawaii & CA) "We caught countless Tuna & Dorado day after day until something big broke my 130 lb line and I lost my lure". This fish could have been a Marlin?
