Designed to be trolled behind a flasher or dodger, Grand Slam Bucktails have proven to be deadly for salmon and lake trout from Alaska to California to the Great Lakes. The durable epoxy head has an iridescent, mother of pearl finish and will stand up to lots of abuse from angry fish. The large-profile Herring bodies are made of FisHair and Crystal Flash to match the sheen of the head. Tied on .080" tubing, these patterns glow in the dark. Size: 4". Colors: (001)Blue/White Glow,
(002)Green/White Glow,
(003)White Glow.
I use these behind flashers on the Great Lakes. Their shape conforms to that of an alewife. You can add you own glow or colored beads to custom-make your fly.
i really like these for fluke, stripers and weakies, they glow in the dark, and have a good streamline, making them look natural. only gave it for stars because i wish they came in a 3 pack for that price
for the past three seasons We have used only the grand slam bucktails. In the past we always used squid or herring. When we first used them, immediately we had results, they were out fishing squid and herring. Pay attention to the instructions on how to hook them up and you should get immediate results. If not adjust leader length slightly until you get hits or hook-ups.
My first experience with these bucktails was in the summer of 2005 while salmon fishing off thewest coast of British Columbia.Fishing was a little slow when I decided to try the grand slam and almost immediatly started to catch very nice coho. Over the next few days i completely wore out two of the 5' in the blue color. So I ordered more for this last season (2006) and they worked as good this year and will now be a major lure in my tackle box.
