What is it?
Northland Bionic Bucktail
What does it do?
Traditional bent-arm spinnerbait with a hand-tied bucktail skirt that attracts big fish.
What sets it apart?
This line of baits was originally built for the muskie and pike anglers from the great white Northcountry, but the new design and size options make it a perfect choice for bass fanatics. The redesigned deep-V, “boat hull” head runs straight on every cast, and pushes vegetation out of the way for snag-free operation. The hand-tied skirt offers a look that most bass haven’t seen; many experts agree that the underwater undulation of hair is hard for a bass to resist. There are three sizes; 3/4-, 1- and 1 1/2-ounce. The latter two are geared for the big toothy critters that hunt the northern waters, but if you’re fishing where giant bass lurk, the larger sizes may come in handy.
How do I use it?
The 3/4-ounce option is the most versatile for bass anglers across the nation. The double blade produces maximum flash and vibration, which will attract fish from great distances. It can be burned near the surface, slow rolled near wood on the bottom or in between. The great thing about this bait is it will eliminate smaller fish from your equation. If you hook up with a Bionic Bucktail, chances are good it’ll be a big fish.

Editor insight:
Today’s pattern is often “go big, or go home,” and, there’s a lot of truth to that mind set. But, if you’re just looking for something a little different, Northland’s Bionic Bucktail is a good option. It’s big and creates more of a ruckus than a standard bass-sized spinnerbait, which could be the difference between a big bite or a limit of small fish.
