Jay Nicholas demonstrates how to tie a slender baitfish pattern for use in fresh and saltwater. The bucktail pattern is super old school in it’s style but uses the new Pro Sportfisher Pro Tabbed Eyes to give it a great target for fish to attack. The Tabbed Eyes are tough and easy to use.

Hey Jay, been fishing this style of tie for 20 yrs. in the basin. Used to tie them for a lodge that I guided out of. Nice tie
