| As I'm chilling out before Cranberry Fest, I'm reviewing my Depthraider line-up for tomorrow with a duffle bag of Kalins and Big Bites. Wondering if you think adding a plastic trailer to your crank produces any more fish. Heard some guides always do it. What is really working on high pressured water? |

| I’ll get flack (what else is new?) for this, but I’m more likely to remove the third hook and make the grub a more important part of the bait. I’ll extend a wire with a screw, the way a soft tail attaches to a Phantom, and maximize the grubs full effect rather than put it clumsily on one point of a treble. I just don’t like that look. Drilling a hole for the thing and keeping the back treble results in too many fowled, wasted casts. Losing the hook is a sad but worthwhile trade, because I think a crank bait rigged like this results in more t-bone strikes away from the boat where it’s the front treble that gets it done. Don’t agree? Then do what you want! I’m convinced nobody’s ever invented something better than a grub for fishing period, not just muskies. |

Location: Elroy, Wisconsin | I have been buying Nokkems on sale from Tackle Industries for 6.99ea. /remove the back section and attach a Mukgumbo grub with a strenched out spring cable. makes an absolute killer lure. Make sure to allow plenty of swing on the grub hookup. Best lure I have had for casting and trolling this year. Absolute magic.

| I like removing the hook and pushing the eye of the hook back up through the grub, then split ringing the hook back on. Like junkman, i don't like the grub on one point look. |

| I drilled a small (2mm) hole in middle of the blade close the rear edge on the suick, to ad a tiny split ring that i can ad blades, or grub tails to, haven't noticed a difference in fish catch but it worked great and fun to tinker around with different things. |
