| What do you guys think are the best lures to use in the spring once the musky season starts? I heard a lot about spring time using small lures because of the muskies tendencies after winter, I just wanted to hear some opinions and some help on what to use.. Thanks a lot guys and good luck this year on the water!!! |

| Small bucktails, twitch baits, gliders, and smaller topwater baits in my boat. |

Location: oswego, il | Who says baits have to be small? You can use your regular stuff. I lost two on a normal sized glider Last weekend. I know a guy who loves 10" jakes on the.cave when people throw rattle traps. |

Location: Western U.P. | Agree with ToddM. Don't limit yourself to small baits in the Spring, and throw whatever size lures you have confidence in. Start small and work your way up to bigger lures (or vice versa) until you get some action. I throw all size baits all season. Good luck. |

Location: Wisconsin | Yup, I throw all size baits all season. The size is not as important as the presentation. Colder water temps will generally mean slower presentations. I would recommend 9inch weighted suicks, 6inch hell hounds, size 6 or 8 bucktails, mid or reg medussas. Those 4 baits are pretty much all I throw this time of year, but again, the key is slowing them down a bit while the water is cold. that is a general rule, but playing around with retrieval speed can also pay off |

| I agree. I use little one and big ones until i find a pattern. I think the same hold true all season long. I don't get to fish until June so depending on the year there may never really be spring fishing... |

Location: minocqua, wi. | "it's not the big that eat the small, it's the fast that eat the slow" ... or in this case it's not the small vs the big it's the slow vs fast, unless they want something else in which case you should adjust to whatever that is.
thinking you have to go small in spring is a rule written by someone who must not have spent much time fishing ... |
