| Have never owned a wake bait, thought they were for bass only. Recently became aware of larger wake baits that would work for musky. My understanding is that they run quite shallow with a lot of movement. Seems that would be a good bait to troll in shallow water. Anyone have experience doing this? Due to age and a medical issue I expect to increase my time trolling as opposed to casting, so trying to put together more baits, techniques to try.
Thanks for any help. |

Was out on a "secret" action lake in my kayak last summer, moving spot to spot, threw a topraider behind me, peddled about 12' and BAM!

| Search out baits that "wander" in the wake. Means the bait shoots out to one side or the other, stays there for a moment, then comes back center, over and over. |

| See that work on shark week every summer, dragging seal decoys for big whites. Trolling a wake bait or dragging a rodent or minnow decoy/lure would be similar. Should work, apex predators just doing their thing. Kdawg |
