Location: Muskoka Ontario,Canada		Hello all,
I've been wanting to make big crankbaits for a long time now and I finally got around to getting one done.
This one is a 12.5" Walleye and has a temporary thin plastic lip just for the test. The production models will have 1/4" thick clear lexan lips.

Check it out here... http://muskysnax.com/page5.html

Location: Muskoka Ontario,Canada		Thanks for the comments Tom Cat.
I'm taking advance orders if anyone is interested.

The 12.5" model is $100 US
I have a larger model in the works also which will be 16" and cost $150. It's a lot of work doing baits at this high of a level I'll tell you! My hats off to those who have come before me!

Location: Muskoka Ontario,Canada		I'll have to guesstimate the depth at 25-35 feet depending on line out while trolling.
Casting I'd say 15-20 feet.

The actual body is 12.5" long and the total length with lip is 15.5".
My goal is to try to make the ultimate crankbaits! I want these baits to raise the bar as to what is possible with hard work and attention to detail. So far I'm very happy with the prototype and I'm ready to start building up the production models.

I say everyone deserves at least ONE Musky Snax!

Even the muskies deserve a Musky Snax!

Location: Omaha, Nebraska		Are you going to make any topwater lures beside the Victim? Like a prop bait?

Location: Muskoka Ontario,Canada		I will only make one if I feel that I can improve upon existing designs or have new twist to it.
My personal fave is Ty Sennet's Pacemaker and I think he got it right the first time.

Maybe in the future I'd consider making a MONSTER prop bait...like about 14" long with a huge frikkin' prop! lol
