@UKCATSBASSER. Wish I could afford another one. These musky purchases are putting me in the broken.. d**n lures are $20+ a pop.

Amazing detail.. Kind of wish I got the bigger one..

I have gone overboard on musky gear so far this year. My believers came in and look great! I picked up a squirrley tail jake, and found a local guy who makes inlines. But by far the best (imo) and the one im looking forward to is a baby beaver. @ 3.5oz this bait looks amazing. The best way for me to find deals is on facebook groups. There are a couple great ones that have a couple thousands members with good deals daily.

Just pulled the trigger on one last night with a TW order. Can't wait until bass season to try it out.

Thanks for all the info. I got 5 believers on the way for $35.. Plus a line on Jake's and some customs..nite. 5 months until opener... Ha

4 orders down and I have opened 0 boxes.. I have been placing med sized orders through tw and been just setting them to the side as they come in. Feels funny, but I want little kid opening Christmas experience when I go to town! But orders include new spro 30 & 40's, pop max, new boxes, and tons of lip less..

TW tentative sale sticky thread!

Well.. I made it 6 months without a tackle order, but as they say "once an addict always an addict". Recently I bought a Revo s, and Vandetta rod. Than I had to focus also on my musky gear, so I bought 10 new lures. And let me tell you, at over $20+ a pop it hurts but feels so good. And now I just placed my first of about 4 orders on TW to replace and pick up the new stuff.

As much as I gripe about our winters, as many have said Minnesota offers over 10k lakes and ponds. You can catch trophy musky minutes from down town Minneapolis. But again agreeing with others here (not to mention bass master magazine) northern lakes often fine themself in the top 100 lakes in the U.S. You don't have to hit big names like leach, rainy, or Mille Lacs to find great fishing. Many small lakes will land you trophy bass, northern, and walleye. Plus side to these northern lakes, NO planes flying overhead, and often the only traffic you hear is other boats on the lake..

I run both 90 & 130 on a 6'6 MH rod on braid and have no problem what so ever fishing it.

Can you pull the trigger and put it in the water? Lol I bought one last year and was never able to bring myself to put it in the water. It's my trophy bait in my box.

Yeah there is a post or two (maybe more) on here about this and the poor people who did what you did to find it out. Also once dipped don't store it with others.

But if you look at TW, it's not that hard to spend only $50. If you don't buy single items and save up for lost lures it's easy to hit that free mark. Same with Amazon. A lot of the time if you spend X amount you get free shipping.

When I musky fish I use a minimal line test of 80lb. And my bass set up is 30lb. Now there are a lot of guys that frog with 50lb braid to pull em out of the slop. You could use 50 on musky but a heavy wire leader is a must. But I think if you're trying to use one rig for two purposes you need to rethink that. While the braid might hold up think the reel. Your gears will get fried, and rods are different. A good heavy action and long rod is idea for musky. In short have the right tools for the job. If the job needs a shovel and you have a spoon it can be done, but doesn't make it right.

I use them for personal reasons. When I catch that monster I like when it's on tape. I use Sony action cam, and just throw in a large micro add (64gb). I replace the battery at times before I have to change sd. I would like to have that feature on the action cam.

Nice choices Felix.

SK redeye and CC Super Spot. I personally find the super spot works best for me on the fall, and redeye works good for me searching and cranking. 1/2oz for both. Whites and silver's are best in my area.

1/2oz blue chrome CC Super Spot is my go to. It has saved me from a skunk most days.

I throw them year round, Sun or clouds. But you should use light colors in bright times, and dark when dark. Chrome works as sunny, but in a murky situation I find they help being located with some extra flash.

Oh I well. I'm going in April if all plans out correctly. I don't know what I'm more excited about, my first salt water trip. Or to check off a lake Toho trip off my bucket list.

I personally use a bunch of different storage options depending on where/what is stored. I have my main bag that holds different variations of 3600 & 3700 boxes for my basic lures. For my plastics I use mainly 3731 boxes. normal packages of plastics fit side by side and I can keep all the different style bags of plastic ordered nicely. I also have a Flambeau 4150 to store all of my line and misc items. Not to mention my box of "I'm going to use it later". When it comes to going out I choose what boxes to fill my Cabelas magnum bag with and I use a bass matter bag to store misc plastics to bring. Some times I bring a small bag that holds 3600 to carry my duos and plastics if I'm going on am all day trip out.

I go to my CC Super Spot in silver/blue or my modified white SK red eye with a willow that replaced a back hook. I have caught some of my pb on these two and will throw them even in conditions where a T rig might be better.
