I need some help here. I'll try my best to explain this and see if anybody knows what in the world I'm talking about. I'm looking for a spoon type bait but I believe it has some lead in it. I'm looking to use it for attaching a soft plastic to it and working it just below the surface. It gives off a wobble type action I believe. I've seen them used and I want to know what it's called and where I can find one. Hope somebody can help me and if anybody has one big enough for musky I'd be glad to take it off your hands for a fair price or maybe some lures. Thanks again guys.

Have you tried a johson silver minnow? theres no lead on them but they do make a larger size for muskies, excellent in the weeds for sure.

Try a Uncle Josh "musky Ribbon" instead of a plastic trailer behind the Silver Minnow, better action and results in my experience.

Sounds like a bunker spoon to me. They're generally huge (9-12") and sometimes have a lead keel in them. We use them here on the east coast for trolling stripers.

Yes, the johnson silver minnow is a prime choice and I have tipped them with some Uncle Josh's pork trailer as well. I have never boated a fish on this combo but i have encountered some mean follows to the boat.
