Location: SW MI | Since there isn't any reviews on the EXO, I'm gonna make one. I fished the Tullibee pattern yesterday on a cisco lake. While trolling across the lake from side to the other, I felt a very strong rip on my rod. The hook was set, fish landed and so on. I like this lure, weighs 9 oz. but feels very light while fishing it. I don't have any Bulldawgs or Super D's so I have nothing to compare to as far as durability but I will say that the lure was pretty beat up. It was torn just behind the back hook and hald the tail was ripped off. I'm gonna try to melt it back together and see how it works. All in all I think it's a lure worth trying, it gives a little different look than a Dawg and anything that catches muskies is good to have in the box. I'd like to hear if anyone else has used these and if they had any success. |

| I've fished both sizes and I did end up adding a 1/2 oz bell sinker to the front hook of the smaller ones to get them to work a little quicker. No fish yet on either. Really like the look of the big one in the water, but I worry about the tail on the smaller ones. they seem very thin to me. The plastic seems tougher than on dawgs but very thin tail section. Your report of serious damage from one fish is disturbing. |

Location: SW MI | Just an update on repairs. I was able to melt the plastic and it seems to have bonded nicely. Turns out the lure wasn't as mangled as I may have made it sound, I was going off of memory. The lure is back and in muskie catching shape! |
