In 1984 owner Graham Owens invented the style of bucktails that became Grand Slam Bucktails. They proved so deadly, he kept them a secret for 14 years. He tied them for himself and only a few close friends. Then in 1998 Graham sent out samples to a few of Washington’s top guides and charter captains. They quickly recognized the Grand Slam Bucktails were a quality product that really caught fish. Word quickly spread and by the summer of 1999 our lures became one of the top 3 most recommended for Puget Sound salmon trolling.

After nearly 20 years of providing GSBs to store shelves and anglers, Graham decided to pass the torch in 2015. We still produce the flies with the same method, using triple epoxied heads, and UV and glow-in-the-dark fibers for every fly. We have expanded going from four to ten patterns and added a new “micro” size. We continue to be owned and operated in Everett, WA. and as avid fishermen will continue to test new patterns and sizes. If you have any color combinations you are wanting to try, please reach out to us at grandslambucktails@gmail.com and we’ll see what we can do!
