The Barbarian Bucktail was engineered to do one thing—trigger aggressive strikes from giant musky and northern pike. With double #7 premium wide willow blades and DeLong’s signature thick rubber skirts, this lure delivers a huge profile and intense pulse in the water that predators simply can’t ignore.
Unlike traditional tinsel bucktails, our hand-poured rubber skirts create a heavy thump and lifelike breathing motion, giving the Barbarian a unique vibration trail that stands out from every other lure on the lake.
Before launching the Barbarian, we sent prototypes to respected musky guides, including:
Steve Herbeck
Gregg Thomas
Aaron Pratt (Churning Waters Guide Service)
Their feedback helped us refine blade size, skirt weight, and body shape to create a bucktail that stays upright, spins effortlessly, and calls fish from long distances.
During early testing, Aaron Pratt caught 12 musky in 6 hours with our rubber-skirt bucktails. When experienced anglers ask for this skirt style—you know you’re onto something.
DeLong Lures is the only company in the world producing thick, hand-poured rubber skirts like these. The result:
Bigger water displacement
Slower, more seductive skirt flare
A throbbing vibration musky feel before they see it
A fresh profile musky have never been conditioned to avoid
When you’re chasing the “fish of 10,000 casts,” a unique profile is your biggest advantage.
The Barbarian comes equipped with premium components:
Double #7 wide willow blades for maximum flash and lift
7/0 Mustad treble hook for rock-solid hook-ups
DeLong Squirm Body for added movement and weight balance
Anise Scented to help fish commit harder
9” total length, 3.1 oz weight—ideal for casting or slow-roll retrieves
Throw it over weed edges, rock points, shallow flats, or during low-light conditions when musky are most active.
If you want a slightly smaller profile with the same unique skirt action, check out The Berserker Bucktail—the Barbarian’s little brother and a must-have pairing for covering different musky moods and depths.
