Striper Getter
When worked right and with the proper trailer (ran out of pork rinds the other night - borrowed some straight Otter Tails and some split Fat Cow -- liked the Fat Cow but I think a split Otter Tail would be fine too) it produces some nice hits. Had a little trouble hooking up, but that was because of conditions and the fisherman -- not the bucktail.
Just wish the paint was a little more durable -- working rocky areas the jig head shows wear a little too quickly -- but the tails are super nice.
ProsGreat casting
Sharp hooks
Nice tail volume
ConsPaint is not as durable as I'd like

Excellent bucktail
I use this to fish a local inlet and it catches fish. I use various sizes of the rip splitter depending how hard the current is running. I dress it with a tail usually if not too windy. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that the weight can be inconsistent.

Consinconsistent weight

Great quality, no issues buying again.
Moderate amount of bucktail makes this a better casting jig. Comes with a large, quality hook, very sharp out of the package. Finish holds up reasonably well, I have no complaints with this bucktail, I regularly purchase these.

Favorite bucktail
The andrus rip splitters are my absolute favorite for fishing jetties and fast moving water. The smiling bill mouth gives the bucktail just a slight little wiggles other bucktails do not.

Reliable bucktail
Andrus makes great jigs that are always the first out of the bag for me and will catch in any type of environment. I like the 1.5 oz jig for most scenarios like times in moderate water depth with a slow sweep.
ProsStrong Hook
Tough hair
Enough hair
ConsRust fairly easily

These are by far the best smilin bill / open mouth type bucktails. Just wished they made them in more colors. But then again the beauty is in its simplicity.

The Andrus Rip Splitter is a great jig, if it had more hair it would be perfect. Otherwise, this lure has produced cows for me.

Good Bucktail!
I use these quite a bit but the only thing I don't like is they don't have that much hair on them. They are very effective but in pictures they have more hair than when you get them.

poor quality control
Andrus lip splitter is one of my favorite bucktail..
I think I bought more than 50 Andrus bucktail last few years. always loved it.
But my previous few order, I noticed 3/4oz model eyelet has consistent problem..
I believe Andrus factory 3/4 oz mold defected on eyelet area..
Never have problem before, But recently I experienced twice..
People need to report to Andrus!!!!
