i could see them being effective. basically a feather set up like a popper.. but with a jig head.

I haven't tried them for salmon, it's hard to go past metal lures off the beach, they cast the best and catch fish.I have used bucktail jigs extensively in other areas of fishing, especially back in the US where they are very popular. They are very versatile and can be fished in many ways, similar to an sp but obviously more durable and with less action. A bucktail with an sp slipped over the hook is a deadly combination.Down here in SA bucktails can be used for everything from bream and flathead through to snapper and mulloway and even all the way up to tuna, sampsons and kingfish. And as we all know, most of the time salmon will eat anything, so yes they would work well on them too!

Yep. Used them for salmon. Spun it with steady retrieve and used a hopping soft plastic retrieve, both worked. Only had one jig and lost it to some reef bottom bashing. I've been looking at getting some from the states, or is there somewhere local I can grab a handfull for a good price.

I have noticed these are not cheap to buy,so i have ordered the few bits needed to make some.I’ll report back on parts and making a few when it all gets here.

did notice some from some from Kamikaze. cheap too.Cant tell what colours they're in but might be worth an email query.

All the bits and pieces have arrived,some from the states and some over the border .Only took 5 mins to assemble, have enough here to make 30-40 bucktails all at $25 spent which included only 5 x 1.5oz jig leads.
