Has anyone used Barlow's on line to order fishing and jig making things from. I am particularly interest in the quality of their bucktails

[Dutch]

I've been buying stuff from them for a long time. I haven't bought buck tails from them. I normally buy mine from Stamina Inc.

[Chief Grey Bear]

I've bought from them for a number of years. Never a problem.

I've used them for quite awhile now. I get all of my skirt material from them for fly tying, jigs and sinner baits and no complaints. Believe it or not the best tails I've got came from Bass Pro.

I will take you all's word for it. I am going to order a few tails. I just got started a few weeks ago after years of not doing any type of lure building. What happened was I bought 1/8 oz and 1/16 oz pony head spinners in 100 lots for $18 a few years ago. I was running short of the 1/8 and went to buy more and they wanted $20 for 20 That was it for me. I never was real happy with them anyway. They had size 1 and 2 gold hooks on them that were a bit to strong for my taste. I went up and bugged Wrench and I was astounded at all the new materiials Etc.

I came home dug up the old stuff I had from before out and started tying and molding again. I just made 2 doz 1/8 and a dozen 1/16 with 0/1 mustad bronze hooks they pull loose pretty easy in the brush well and hook better. As far as the bass jigs go. I am old in my my ways. I really prefer prefered bucktail jigs. I like to amend them to fit the need.

I'm a fan of bucktails myself. I do use skirt material however to add some subtle color. I will take an olive bucktail and add two strands of chartruse skirt material on the lower sides. I do this because most crawdads have a little color on the bottom edge of the carapace.

I've used them a couple times. Good selection of stuff and deliver as agreed.

i really like gray bucktails around here for pitching docks in the fall. A few years back I decided I wanted a slower drop on the 1/2 oz bucktails. So I tied a few with and flared the hair in back of the jig head and it looks like a big hackel. I trimmed it a bit and it acted like a dive break on aplane. It worked even after it it got depressed some from use. Now that I am starting again I want to make a few of them in diffent weights. That kind of thing is what draws me to bucktail jigs.I use trailors on mine 90% of the time they are brush hogs

A little body hair under the bucktail will slow the fall also, just don't pull it down to tight and use lots of glue..
