"ducktail" you say . . .
A slip of the pen retrieves yet another gem out of the deep vaults of knowledge.  Whether intentional or not, my box is going to be stuffed with ducktail spinners from now on.
Thanks for the pics Jimmar 

I sometimes experiment with lure modifications. Replacing the buck tail with duck tail could be interesting.

i once replaced a destroyed bucktail with dog fur. it turned out pretty nice.
3 years ago was in the q with a rather inexperienced father & son team. after a long day in which i struggled to catch fish consistently, over dinner they told of their day with non-stop action of mostly sm & pike. i asked what they were throwing and the guy said 'these things'. they were #3 mepps tied to the end of some massively kinked cheap leaders.

I caught my first 40" Northern on a large home made spinner with a couple hunks of red ribbon tied on around the treble.  We were fishing from a 12 ft. row boat in flood water near a two track road in eastern Ontario. ...but i guess I'm not sticking strictly to the POD topic.

Today's POD made me laugh
Last year while on a walk at the local county park that weaves around a small lake that has fishing docks, I watched a guy kneeling on the dock bending over like he was trying to land a fish?

I stopped to see what he caught and realized he didn't have a fishing pole 

Turns out he had one of those LifeStraws he had gotten for X-mas. Instead of laying flat on dock he leaned so far over he ended up going in head first. 

Luckily the water was deep enough the only thing he hurt was his pride. Being early spring the water was ice cold and as he stood cussing up a storm he looked up to see me LMFAO and that broke him up.
