What are your favourites? I've never been a fan of them, because I've never been successful with them, but figure I'll give them another chance.

One of the 1st muskie bait I ever bought was a Mouldy's Hawg Wobbler back in the mid-80s. That bait is my favorite. It never rolls over - no matter how fast you crank it. It is that aligned!!! I've caught 40 inchers of docks and even had a muskie take it from me when the line broke one night. We found it washed up on shore the next day. It use to be perch colored, but that paint is long gone and its now black. I also have a husky size Hawg Wobbler that has a few fish to its credit also.

I have tried about every HW type bait out there and I have come to the conclusion that you should just use the original. I prefer the husky size but the regular is big enough to get there attention.

People will say they like other ones because they can retrieve them faster but the wobbler gets the fish's attention in my boat. The slower speed is the trigger IMO.

try a 10" jntd believer on the shallow eye slow on the surface. similar IMO and you can troll with one too.

Yeah, someone else had mentioned the 10" believer. I think that's one of Dick Pearson's suggestions for the baits too.
