Tying the deadly Bucktail Bend Back (pike,zander,perch,bass)

This is a great little fresh and salt water pattern for fishing over weed, rocks or in my case, zebra mussels. I’ve played with different materials, but find bucktail limits fouling around the hook, resulting in more positive hook-ups. I tie these specifically for zander, but catch other predatory fish too.
