| there 6-7 inches long... there not really big compared to other muskie lures but its the biggest sub-walk ive seen... it looks to be a little smaller than a manta |

Location: Minneapolis,Mn | Compared to the small ones at 3.5 inches,yes, it's big. I caught three muskies last year with the small ones bass fishing, not even trying for the ski's. The six incher weighs out at 2oz. |

Location: New Brighton, MN | I was really excited about these baits last year, but I had problems with the action. What kind of line works best? do you straight tie, or use a snap swivel ?
I bet smallmouth crush them ! |

| The original x-raps work really good for muskie and pike if you get the biggest size there is. Haven't tried the subwalks yet but the regular topwater walkers work great for everything. |

If you're using the smaller size for smallies, straight tie with a rapala knot, and they work really well. |

Location: Beaver County, Pennsylvania | i would like to see rapala start making a musky-specific line of baits......a lot of the saltwaters i imagine would work well but that is about it. |
