HugoBox Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I really dig the way the baits with BOU on them look out of the water but other than here and there haven't used them much. Do they catch a lot of air when casting - also, is there a brand or style that holds up the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50inchpig Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 'bou is my bucktail material of choice. doesn't catch air when it's water soaked, prolly less air resistance than tinsel, i like the way it gives body and depth and good solid color to a bait.mepps marabou is a fine bait (after you upsize the back hook), flashers, supergirls, all of them seem to be tied well. aside from some fading over time and use, it's a pretty durable material. watch out for dye bleeding on your boat carpet the first few times and don't put it away while it's soaking wet.

TSchultz Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 They actually cast pretty well since the marabou all lays flat when you pull it out of the water. I use quite a few Shumway spinnerbaits. I really liked his 3oz funky chicken in bou, but sadly it has been discontinued. He makes a quality product, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quackaddict9 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Marabou's are one of my favorite bucktails. I like the Mepps Musky Marabous and Mojo XX's. I've never had problems with them and they cast nicely too as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel9921 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Not too particular fond of Marabou bucktails... but do have few tho... Flashabous for me... If I can remember, when I started out fishing for muskies... some one advised me to get the marabou bucktails wet first before casting... and nowdays I find myself wetting all lures before casting them out... force of habit I guess... Regular, Marabous, and Flashabous all work beautifully, just that each has their own time and place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWH Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Marabou bucktails will cast better than any other bucktail material due to the amount of water it holds. So if you find yourself casting into a stronger wind, this is a great option if for no other reason than the casting ability of these baits.Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
