In the old days I ran a lot of Giant Jackpots. What are people running today for that style of lure?

Weagles are probably the most popular. Rabska came out with one that j have been hearing alot of good things about also.

One Eyed Willy from Stealth Tackle is a real good one. Been a top producer for me for years. Biggest 2 fish in my boat this year so far are on them.

I'm sure many others are good but if I'm walkin the dog it's with a Weagle.

Depends. I catch the most muskies on a Jackpot, but it is also what I use the most, after weighting mods to improve hookups. Still like the Weagle for 'that' spot. Also have a couple G-logs(no longer made) and Rylure sidekicks that I wouldn't trade. I think the main take-away is that it depends on where you are fishing and the conditions. In rivers with a bit of current chop, tough to beat the lighter quick hops, whereas on the 'glass' anything can work, but tough to beat the heavy 'swooshers' where and when the time right.

10" weagle, cady weagle, Rabskas, and a Kodiak I weighted a bit more all work great. not sure the fish care too much. throw whatever you have confidence in.

Phat boys are great but they can't take much ripple,,WTD baits that have that head bob after the twitch are the trigger.
I will say by far the best hooking percentage wtd is the salmo Maus M. They just grab hold better.
