Classic Brunner Runner Hand-Tied Buck Tail Lure

Classic "Brunner Runner" Lures weigh about one ounce with a body length of 7 to 8 inches, and an overall length of 10 to 12 inches. These lures are great for catching Muskie or Pike. Each lure is tied on .051 s.s. wire using #2/0, #3/0 or #4/0 2X hooks. The wire is extra long, making it possible to change blades (if ever desired). This length also creates more vibration to the lure. This effect has proven more beneficial in successful catches over the shorter shaft.

BUCK TAIL COLORS: The buck tail of each lure may be a single color or a combination of colors. These colors include: White, Black, Hot Pink, light and dark Green, florescent and bright Orange, Purple, Yellow, Red, Brown, Chartreuse, and Natural.
