Few lures can catch as many fish in an many situations as the bucktail jig.  High currents, deep water, shallow water, rocky and sandy bottoms all can be worked with the simple but deadly bucktail.

Don't limit yourself to thinking bucktails jigs are only for deeper water, with a lot of hair on models such as the Jetty Caster by Andrus or any of the Jecks Bucktails lighter jigs can be worked slowly even in very shallow water.

Many people like to tip their jigs with a grub, worm, pork rind, or other add on to increase size and attractiveness but on some jigs with lots of feathers or extra long hair this isn't quite so important.
