Hi Everyone,

I am relatively new to musky fishing and everyone has been very helpful so far. I purchased a large lot of lures to get started, but now want to get some advice for any future tackle purchases. If you could list your top 10 (or so) favourite lure manufacturers, who would they be? Even though I think I have more tackle than I can handle, I know I will be buying a lot more (which I have already started to do, big fan of Smity Baits btw) and want to make sure I start building a nice collection of top quality tackle.

Thanks in advance,
Matty

i would use what you got and you will figure out the rest. if it works then get more of them, if it dont then dont. i have gotten alot of baits that i had to have or that was the next big bait only to figure out that i didnt need it.

I love jointed super believers and super stalkers from Drifter Tackle. They also make the DDD and DD, along with the Hellhound that are really good too.

10. CJ - Spinnerbaits
9. Slammer - 10 & 12" Deep Cranks 9" Crank (Crankbaits)
8. Big Game - (Twitch Baits)
7. Grandma - 7" Grandma Crank (Crankbait)
6. Phantom - Softail Phantom (Twitch Jerk)
5. Suick - 9" Weighted Suick (Jerkbait)
4. Sennetts Tackle - Pacemaker, Creeptonite (Topwater)
3. Musky Buster - Magnum Stomper, Mid-Lowrider (Topwater)
2. Musky Innovations - Mag Bulldawg, Pounder Bulldawg (Rubber Jerks)
1. Musky Mayhem - Double Cowgirl, Supermodel, Mini-Eagle tail (Blades)

Here is somewhat of a comprehensive list on quality tackle. There is a ton of great stuff out there, you just need to sift through it all - Like myself though, everybody on here is going to tell you their opinion. Best would be to call Thorne Bros and tell them what you are looking for and ask for recommendations.
