Location: Ludington, MI | I'm finding a lot of sheephead (drum) near where I fish muskies on my local lake. Looking for a large-profile glidebait with lots of hangtime that's available in a chrome/UV type pattern. Suggestions? |

| I would look for a shum shum glider or even consider red october shallow tubes in the 10" or 12" sizes, dont let their looks fool you I have seen very few musky that didnt want to assasinate them on first sight. |

Location: Ludington, MI | Thank you. I dug up my silver/white Glidin' Rap and slapped some UV tape on there. I'll check out the tubes and Shum Shum gliders. Saw that TRO has a mag Warlock that looks pretty good. Really looking for that tall, flat shape. |

Location: Southwest PA | Sheepshead will also hit muskie lures FYI. They're fun to catch too! I had one engulf a 6in wildeye swim shad once. That is a lure that you may be looking for although in 9" to avoid bycatches I don't know their name for the color pattern but it's gray and white. Food for thought. |

Location: Ludington, MI | Thanks. Very familiar with them. I'm actually a former Pentwater Sheephead Tournament Champ. Lol. My name is on a trophy that no one wants their name on. I have been looking at the larger shad lures as well. I have several hollow-body swimbaits up to 6.5 inches and am looking at larger as well. |

Location: Apparently where the Muskie aren't | Maybe contact Anthony who makes the hottails. I know at one point he made a few humpback versions of the regular gliders and they have a similar profile to a drum. |

Location: Sakatchewan,Canada | A large swimbait option might be the Savage Gear line thru Roach in 25 or 32cm. The 32cm(12.6") has a body depth of 4"...only problem with the 32cm is you have to order them from overseas. |
