Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota | Has anyone here played around with any of the big pike baits the guys over in EU use? Yesterday a bait called the miuras mouse caught my eye, it looks very similar to a beaver but the back end is a giant bull dawg like twister tail. Comes in a bunch of sizes and weights for different situations. Also seen a lot of swimbaits that I would like to try
like the svartzonker mcrubbers. If they catch big pike over there I have no doubt they would catch skis over here, just wondering if anyone else has tried any of them out |

Location: Ireland | I`ve used a Mouse over here a couple of times ..... best I`ve had on it has been a 42" pike .
Used it as a throwback lure in that instance after getting a knock on a jerkbait .
They`re not my goto lures but worth having in the box as a change bait .....
I like the swimshads , easy to fish . Good for lots of fish ... use it with a breakaway rig.
Best pike has been a 46" on a "pig shad "
A lot of companies have lures similar to the mcrubbers , basically a soft swimbait with a paddle tail in various sizes

Location: oswego, il | The Zalt is an excellent erratic jerkbait. The zam is also very impressive and someone should be locked up for discontinuing the 9" model. |

Location: ITALY | hello, I have 3-4 of Miura's mouse in the magnum version ... I find them excellent for fishing on not very deep depths ... unfortunately for the great lakes of northern Italy they are not always ideal ... in my opinion best conditions are max depth of 21/24 '.... as regards the pig shad I have several with which I also took several large pike ... I use the 26cm giant pig shad ... a swimbait that I consider excellent is new giant replicant 14" by Fox Rage..great for trolling!!!!! |

| One thing I would say is that, if you are thinking of buying some of the European stuff, make sure it's not already available in the US. Brands such as Swartzonker and Wolfcreek have been trying to push into the musky market these past few years. The shocking part is that these lures made in places like Sweden actually cost less when sold in the USA. The Monsterhsad from Wolfcreek, for example, cost about 25 dollars less in thornebro compared to it's French price for some reason. |
