Location: Kodiak, AK | Does anyone use DCG Jr's or Baby Girls for other than the sake that they pull easier? Is there a time and a place for the smaller blades, or does everyone pretty much stick with the DCG's? I know smaller baits have their place, but for the sake of the double 10 vibe vs the double 8 or 6 vibe...is there a time when anyone uses them for that reason? I'm new to gear and have myself pretty well set up with several DCG's....now looking at the smaller blades and wondering if I "need" it. |

Location: Hopefully on the water | I like to throw them if you are in a area that has been pounded by the DCG" number 10 blades. Plus for us it has been a matter of some people in the boat to be able to reel them fast with less ease if speed is the issue. Also sometimes the muskies may just like to have a snack. But the main is when the area has been pounded by the # 10's and you are boat number (?) through. |

Location: Michigan | The Cowgirl JR. pulls almost as hard as the Cowgirl (to me anyhow). The JR. is'nt really a smaller alternative to the Cowgirl, it's still a big bucktail in my opinion. There is definitly a time and place for smaller speed bucktails like the Baby Girl you mention. I burn the Rabid Squirrel double colorado alot. Speed Kills. |

Location: Oswego, IL | Sure the size thing may be a good reason. Think if muskie are not fully hungry they may want a smaller meal, sometimes might be better to throw smaller baits for possibly a better % of fish actually biting at it. Or if they just ate, or just being territorial they may smack a smaller bait just for the heck of it. I can tell the difference on pull for sure. There is really no exact ryhme or reason for behavior. |

Location: Birch Run | Better have a fast reel to use the baby girl. Its heavy and the blades don't always spin, seems like the more bucktails I buy the more common this is. The clevis's are good you just have to start your retreive before the bait hits the water or pop it when it hits. |

Location: Sw Pennsylvania | I think the cowgirl jr pulls a little less than a standard cowgirl but its not super noticeable. I have a baby girl and the dbl showgirls, i prefer the double showgirls over the baby girls for sure. They have provided me with some action this year, they are super super easy to burn also. |

Location: MN | Just my input, I think the Dbl. 13's pull just as hard or less than the Dbl 10s... those are great when everyone is chucking the Dbl. 10's |

Location: Houlton, WI | the jr's are good because you can get them going faster and they give off different vibrations than a cowgirl. The baby girls are a good spring bait and are good for burning over tall weed beds |
