Hey Beaver, I've been playing with the bucktails for the last couple of days, very crude set up as you can see, made a vise out of stuff laying around along with my bobbin holder(which actually works great) and "modified" my spinner to hold the bucktails
, this is going to be a regular activity I think, lots of fun, pretty simple and very enjoyable......don't know that the stripeys will spot the difference from an off the shelf Andrus but who cares what they think
