Rigs: I finally found a bucktail (with a reasonable size hook) in 8 ozs. (I do not use the chrome ball). The bucktail is made by Mai Tai. So I can now adjust my tactics. I think that besides the Ava 47 and the black and school bus bombers, bucktails are the best jigs/lures. I use a 4/0 Kahle hook snelled to a 30" (to start), 15-30lb. leader (depending on conditions) tied to a SPRO barrel swivel (or SAMPO with a bearing) ... a fishfinder is above sandwiched between 2 #8 red or orange beads not for presentaion but to protect my mainline at the barrel swivel knot and protect the rod tip. The areas I fish we start with 8 ozs. of lead usually.
Thanks,

Capt. Ed

I am a newbie and confused.  Are you using an 8oz bucktail and and then also an 8 oz lead on the fishfinder?

Bytheshore8, when using the 8 oz bucktail, you do not use a slider. The 8 oz bucktail acts as the sinker.  t^
