After a near 35 year absence from Musky Im going to regain my youth and attempt
to seduce the beast this Oct on Eagle. Started to order trolling cranks....1st shop/stop was for some Triple D's....nice build and finish but, how best to troll? Lookin at some headlocks too. Advice most appreciated. Should I expand my inventory? After years of successful contour trolling 4 walleye I have skills in boat control.
Ok will never regain my youth but would like to catcha musky.

There's so many good ones out there.
believers, hookers, slammers, tuff shads, hose baits, and on and on..if going to do it for a week or so, I wouldn't invest a whole lot into too many baits, but if your at the age where you troll only and are going to keep at it, certainly pick up more in a variety of sizes.

I have had great success trolling dpuble and triple ds. They really shine when ripped trolled, hold on tight on the pause!

I love triple D's for casting as a jerk bait, but IMO there are better trolling baits, I would not go to Canada trolling without some 10" Jakes and 9" Grama's ...Headlocks and 10" believers are very good too.

When trolling Canada you should try to use floating baits. You're going to find LOTS of rocks and if you have a sinking/neutral bait chances are you'll be leaving it up there.
