This showcases the necessary processes to create your very own musky bucktail that will last and catch MONSTERS. My goal is to catch as many fish as possible, but I also don't want to break the bank while I'm at it.

Materials used:
Desk
4" vise
File
100 grit sandpaper
Angle Grinder (You could use a hacksaw)
Bobbin
Scissors
3" Vise
Fly Tying Vise
Needle Nose Pliers
White Jig Paint
.22 empty cartridge
fly tying thread
Body Wire: free yard flag that was used to mark water lines
Clevis Wire: I used the safety lock wire that I use for hardbody lures, but a paperclip would work just as well. It cost me around half a penny's worth, but the paperclip is kinda free. You can also buy your own clevises.
The spinner blade is from a spoon I really hated, loathed, and despised; I just wanted to destroy it. SO pretty much free.
Beads: I bought a mega pack of 350 for around $6 specifically for this purpose, but you could definitely use any old beads you had for carp fishing or on a Lindy rig, so maybe 5 cents.
Weights: I found the bullet weight in the bottom of an old tackle box and had a bunch of egg sinkers for hardbody lure making, you can get a pack of 60 for around $6, which would make a ton of bucktails, but you could even drill holes through sinkers or whatever you had. You definitely don't have to paint them either, but the final cost used is maybe 10 cents if that.
All feathers except for the saddle hackle were from a pheasant that was shot while hunting. If you know hunters, ask if you can keep the feathers. Often times hunters just want the meat. The feathers are not necessary either, you could just do tinsel.
The bucktail was from a doe I shot a couple years ago, again you could just do tinsel if you wanted. If you hunt or know hunters, make sure to ask for the tails.
The tinsel is 50 cents from Hobby Lobby or another craft store on sale after Christmas.
I used some thread from Cabela's that I got for around $2, but you can make at least three bucktails with that amount of thread. You could even use some random string lying around your house.
The bobbin, (clip thing that holds the thread) is unnecessary but it makes life a WHOLE lot easier.
I used epoxy and superglue to seal the thread, and I think superglue works better because it soaks into the thread better. You can also use nail polish or fly head cement.
