By far my best fish per hour bait. 20 fish in less than 40 hours of use... Many more I hope!

I can't post a pic of it because it's in in a vault at a heavily fortified bank right now...but... the best big fish lure in my boat since about 2008 is a particular bucktail a good friend gave to me to use... he had 2 53" on it, and 5 others over 50... then gave it to me..what was he thinking! I got a 53 and 50 on it in one night in about 5 casts. Another friend got a 50" on it with me... and then when a friend came to MN for the first time, I had him use it the 1st night and he got his pb a 51.75"... this past week I took it out of the vault and let another friend use it.. he got a 52.25" after about 2 hrs of using it... so 12 over 50" on one bucktail... that is a War Horse...it is so mangled and nasty looking...guys are paying 200 for a Dadson that have zero 50s... what should I price it at? lol.
needless to say my friend that gave it to me tries to steal it back every chance he gets!

The fact that he shared it with you and you share it with other friends, instead of hoarding it to yourself has got to be giving it some good karma.

it definitely has good karma... it hadn't been in the water at all this year until he got the 52.25.. I save it for special occasions and it only comes out in MN...the # of big fish on it is pretty cool... should compile the pics

fun to remember "special baits" - I had one old perch DDD that basically was all white, after the first 20 fish, not sure how many she produced but over 40 muskies for sure, replaced hooks at least a dozen times, big fish liked it.. 7 over 48" up to 52.5" ... June 27th 2012 she took her final swim.. and now rests on the bottom of LOTW lodged firmly in a rock (2 types of lure retrieve failed the rescue mission) ..think I shed a tear when the line finally broke.
