I just ordered and received a variety of color/size combinations of these baits and various other terminal tackle items all of which are of high quality and solid construction. The bucktail versions look and swim awesome in the water. Looking forward to using them as the weather cools down. Will be ordering more stuff in the future.
Anyone wanting anything made up ahead of the spring thaw please let me know. I'll get a new thread going with some pics of recent additions to my head style options.
More from the recent order - many custom configuration examples all with tied on skirts to survive pike attacks. Banded skirts are an option too, but have less profile and less action and are prone to being cut-off by pike or other toothy fish. Each hook has a piece of weed-guard tied and cemented into a very effective double barb bait keeper:
