So I tallied everything up the best I could. There are sure to be errors as I don’t know every single small bait manufacturer. I looked up everything, but not all baits mentioned were found.

I tallied all double bladed Bucktails together and did not differentiate from brands. I did the same with super D’s & bulldawgs, but wish I hadn’t. I’m too lazy to go back and count (this took a long time).

Bucktails & spinnerbaits came in 1st with the most votes at 49
Double blades came in 1st overall with 30 votes
Single blade 10
Spinners 9

Crankbaits had the second most votes with 43
Everyone seemed to have their favorite, with not one lure having 4 votes.
Big Joe’s Kickin Minnow had 3 with many baits at 2.

Topwater baits totaled 30 votes
Walk-the-dog style tallied 16 votes. 11 votes for the Weagle. No others came close
Topwater prop baits tallied 14 votes. TopRaider (5), Rumbler (4), & pacemaker (3)

Softplastic were next at 24 votes
Bulldawgs & Super D’s came in first with 15, Curly Sues next with 3 votes

Gluide baits tallied 21 votes. Many gliders were listed, but the hellhound came in first with 7 votes.

Straight Jerkbaits totaled 6 voters, the suick getting 3
Suckers received 3 votes & daredevils made an appearance with 2 votes.

Hope this was useful,
Dave

Don't let Musky Innovations see you grouped the Bulldawg and SuperD together. They may have a heart attack Although I have put the two baits together in a Plano and they didn't self ignite or melt together....

I like it. Some results I did not expect. All except the Sucik! Love the Suick!

I would have to agree as we sold a ton of big Crank baits. 15 inch lures flew off the racks. I sold five 15 inch lures before the show started ha ha ha . I shouldhave painted more pink and purple Kingfisher

Good job to Tackle Industries for the SuperD swimbaits! Love your high quality baits and at a reasonable price for the average musky fisherman. If you have coming what I hear is coming I can not wait! 42 colors in 6 sizes? WOW! Best swimbaits out right now and for the best prices! Good to see Rollie and Helen's is carrying them now. Heard you're in Bass Pro and a bunch of other big box stores too. Good job James! Keep those baits coming.
