The only time I used bucktails, was if I casted in to schooling fish, but I usually cast a red fin or a excalibur (now hedon) spitin image into the schooling fish. I just never fish with bucktails, just a personal thing from not fishing them growing up. I should probably start. I only planer board live bait and I would only use water bugs planers cause I have had problems with the kind that bass pro sells. dont know what they are called. If you use bream for bait it is illegal to catch them in a throw net and keep them. They must be caught on a hook, so if you have bream in a tank make sure there are hook marks in their mouth or you could get a ticket that is not cheap. When downlining use about a 3 foot leader below the weight. The cheapest rod and reel setup that works great is a 7 foot Ugly stick with an abu garcia 6500 with a clicker. always keep the button mashed on the reel while fishing to keep from loosing a rod or having the line break when the stripe hits. Again if the water is real clear lighter line is a must so the fish cant see it. I have caught stripe up to 45 pounds on 15 pound big game line with no problem as long as the drag is set so they can run. makes for a great ten minute fight also. Do not pump the rod just hold constant pressure on the fish and reel when you can and the line will do fine. If you ever notice a rough spot in the line re-tie. I re- tie after every fish to be safe.
