Very good lures, they hold up well and are pretty tough, they also catch fish. I'd recommend getting the 9" Shallow version w/ the paddle tail and as far as color goes match the hatch.

I killed with these in Canada this year! Great lures. I did just as well with the Bulldawgs. I do like the FormulaX in the Suzy's though. Seems to hold up a little better.

The suzy sucker does what everyone other swimbait wishes it could do. Can be worked very fast and has a lot of movement. I picked up a 13"er over the winter and am really wanting some 11"ers.

Which is it Mad Muskie? If you are talking about Shack Attack lures your wrong. Andy at Shack Attack lures is a stand up guy who will do anything for the customer that he is able to do. Sounds like you are a little confused anyway. He makes a great lure, and if you did have any problems I'm sure he would be willing to talk it over with you. Just remember respect has to go both ways.

Re: Customer service

Andy went out of his way a while back to help me. They guy dis not even know me at the time. He also sent me some baits for free. If Andy did these things for someone he does not know and someone who had never bought one of his lures I think he woudl have a high level of customer service for his regular customers...

Since then I now own about 10 of his lures. Great baits.

That post was from MuskieE. Come on E, knock it off. You have used this board for LOTS of free and undeniable promotion of your lures, so play fair or that ends.

how are they compared to a bulldawg? the tail seems more durable cause its thicker. but not sure. thinking of getting one of the big ones for big vermillion muskies in a few weeks when i head to vermillion, also thinking of trying to see if i can get my hands on one of the formula x 6"ers for vermillion pike but not sure where to find them? anyone know if rollie and helen's still sells the formula x ones. i know guides choice on eagle river had them last time i was in there but that was early june so not sure anymore.

Steve,
I'll be nice on this one out of respect to you and what you guys do here. The "business " stuff rears it's ugly head once again. Behind the scenes stuff needs to stay there.Oh, lost a 48 tonight on a lake that doesn't have muskies. Saw 7 others too. I love those kind of lakes. If you get a pig on the Goon, please poke her in the left eye and say it was from me. That lake and I will duel again someday. And regarding the above, Andy is good people and works hard for his family.Peace. Steve

Patience grasshopper. They are on their way. I know Thorne Brothers has a bunch ordered and is just waiting for them to arrive.

Steve,
When someone breaks our posting permissions enough times after several requests not to do so, I will let them know and clearly.

I poked that muskie dead in the eye for you.

Like Luke said, the 11"ers are on the way. Musky Tackle Online was told that they were about 3 weeks out (last week). So I would expect most of your main musky retailers to have them before the month is out.

Not sure if it's just how I've been working them, but they seem to have great "hopping" action. Different then a BD's more aggressive slash/hop/jump/glide. Is that what most have been finding? I can't seem to get my Curly Sue to move as erratically as my 'Dawgs, which I actually think is a positive and strength of the bait. Thoughts?

My suzi sucker out lasted a bull dog by miles. First cast with a new dog and the lead was coming out the front, junk went in the trash.

That would have probably been one of the discontinued formula x ones. I had that problem this year with a formula x lure from another brand.
