There are a lot of great fisherman who are excellent teachers on RUclips. From technique to gear I don't think anybody makes it simpler and easier to comprehend than you Tony. Thanks for the many tips over the years and the whole team.
Tony...Was wondering if you could follow up with another video or two on how to retrieve them effectively in different situations. Obviously, weight of these is a factor when considering depth of water. Growing up , I fished bucktails more in a jigging fashion, where flair hawks I believe you are supposed to just reel them slow along the bottom. I have had times where they didn't touch something in the 1oz weight, but as soon as I dropped down to 3/4 oz...they were all over it. The three retrieves I use for flair hawks are: slow and steady along the bottom swimming it back with current. Then a faster retrieve if they are more active. Then I found sometimes they like three quick reels then pause. Also fishing flair hawks, I keep my rod tip low for better hook sets. Keep up the great Content
Can you elaborate how were supposed to used each jig and what scenario you would pick one either one in? Obviously the flair covers water better but anything else?
Bucktails have caught 50lb bass, so its not exactly accurate that big fish have a harder time seeing them...White S&S 1/2oz bucktail with a white 6" gulp and you are in business. There is a reason why bucktails are in survival kits, they catch fish...tight lines
Bucktail jigs have caught countless number of 40-50lb ( and even higher) striped bass in NY. I don’t know why you would say that they don’t catch large fish. Maybe it’s just a regional thing? You never seen FL guys tossing traditional Andrus Jetty Caster bucktails in FL, and you never see striped guys in NY casting flair hawks.
Nice vid. I get frustrated when everyone calls a flair hawk a bucktail and l have to explain the diff to them. Alot of seb guys call flair hawks bucktails and it always drove me crazy but lm a pretty anal person. Thx for making this vid explaining this

Would be awesome to see some under water video of each jig and common retrieves with each
Talk about the perfect opportunity to include underwater video to show the differences...now THAT would be content.

lol i know a definite similarity between the two, i have gone skunk for a good week trying both xD T_T
Hahaha good one

Both jigs you just slowly reel across the bottom or you can twitch it on the bottom
Flare Hawks are best used at night around Bridges, Jetties, passes slow reeled or bounce off the bottom for big Snook. Be prepared to lose a few jigs
What bucktail jig is that with the two line ties? I really like It! Also could a bucktail work under a popping cork?
It is a Spro Bucktail Jig and it sure would!
On my flair hawks I use a Zman silver shad with a paddle tail. Does the trick at my inlets and jettys

What is the material that the flair hawk are tied from ?Want to tie a few jigs
Are their any specific Flairhawk jigs you prefer?
