S&S Bucktails are now in the creative hands of Madd Mantis. Bucktails have played an important role in not only striper fishing, but they have been used for many other species of fish also. This Smiling Bill style features a smiling bill shaped lead head fitted with a Mustad HD hook.  This style bucktail is slightly faster sinking than the rock hopper and especially effective in rips where the current is fast moving.
