Location: Houlton, WI | Has anyone used the big daddy by muskie mayhem? I want to get a jerkbait that will get down to that 10 foot range. Overall i just wanted to know if you think that it is worth buying.
also what are some other jerkbaits that get down pretty deep that you would recommend. |

| Big Daddy is a nice bait, well made and the lexan lip on the front makes it more durable and consistent than bobbies or Suicks. Also goes quite a bit deeper, especially if you get a weighted one. I'd recommend adding a JoMusky weight insert to it, even the weighted one. They'll go down about 8-10 feet I think on a faster retrieve. like Suicks and Bobbies, play with the tail to get the action and depth that you want. |

| Love the Big Daddy's. The lil' Daddy's might get just a bit deeper and have a slower rise, simply because there is less wood so it's less buoyant. Another good choice for getting deep with jerkbaits is a sinking jerkbait like the Lundberg Stalker. It's a nice side to side bait that has a slow sink rate. You'll have to count it down to get it where you want it. I've got plenty of all of these baits in stock...

| If you plan on ripping the big daddy, you will need a very specific rod. I'm not sure what kind of rod that is, but I know I don't own it. It pulls so hard it will wear you out in 15 minutes trying to work it hard. It's probably double the work of throwing a pounder dawg IMO. |
