This variation on the bucktail deceiver has become my top smallmouth bass streamer over the last few years. I tie them in 3 sizes; 2, 3.5 and 5 inches to match the ayu and other bait throughout the year. If you check out the maruta fishing video on my channel you'll see a nice smallie with the 5" version deep in its mouth.
