Location: Palm Coast, FL | On LOTW they did for me during the first full week of July 2007. Three of us boated 43 muskies in one week out of the same boat. If I remember correctly about 80% came on the lilly tail...including the largest of the trip at 52.5".

Location: Pelican Rapids, MN | The old ones were awesome - pre-Drifter. The rubber was different and seemed to breathe better than the stuff they have used as of late. If you can find some old Pre-Maina models those are the best of the lot. Once musky maina got a hold of them the blade quality seemed to decline and after a day they would warp and cup really bad. They still caught the heck out of the muskies though. They are an awesome bulger and great shallow water bucks. Hot miserably calm day and it can be your best friend. |

| A "go to" for clients and myself the last couple years on Mille Lacs. 52.5 to boot. |

| I had a year on LOTW when a white/orange lilly tail was the go to bait. Haven't caught a fish on it since, but it was on fire for a few days. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Rusty built a heck of a lure. Haven't used any since I got a few from him and wore them out on big Pike on the English. |

Location: Pelican Rapids, MN | I still have a couple of the old Lilyquist models. They are great. And surprisingly enough, the rubber is in pretty good shape. |
