just recently started about a year ago making our own bucktails. Very educational!! You can make any color, shape, size from deer hair to feathers and blades galore! Yes there is the right time to use blades etc.. dont get me wrong I do fish with store bought baits such as a bulldawg, but the gratification of catching a monster on something you made is pretty cool. this fish was on a blade yes there was a happy dance on that one!!

Well, I just gotta say that I had a chance to see ice queen's bucktails in action this weekend.  Fishing was ungodly tough with an endless east wind, but those baits simply look amazing.

I thought that the Rabid Squirrel was a great bait, and I own plenty of them, but her baits just look a lot better.  More full, better color...etc.

Just awesome baits to see in the water and from what I saw, blades were spinning right away.

Lori...sending you a picture of a bait that I'd love for you to try to replicate sometime!

Just to fill in specs for them. 

12" body, dive curve of 1.7:1(tested down to 55'), will run over 5mph.

I hear lots of people say he's got a fish when passing on the water. I choose to go after the 1% of the 1%.

Have me a place up around fence lake, see me out runnin' flag me down.
