How did the name "Bucktail" come into play.....You can use different size hooks with heads attached, the head of the hook can be painted different colors so if one color isn't catching your Sea Trout as fast as you would like you can switch to another color.  Once you have your colors laid out you can now apply the hair from a Deers tail to just below the hook head and long enough to cover the hook.  Of course there are more steps into the finished product.  Moving along your now in your favorite spot on your special peer or inlet or just standing along the ocean getting ready to surf fish with your favorite rod.  Depending on the tide, weather, temperature you might try putting a rubber worm on the hook so it would create a longer tail on your hook, again these come in many different colors so pick the one that the fish likes the best and keep that in mind for future fishing trips. 
     Do you have a special way to fish with these hooks, if so leave your comments and share them with other fisherman.
