First I would like to apologize to all for the lack of Fat Belly's at the Milwaukee Muskie Show as well as our Cabin Fever Clinics in Chicago and Wauasu. Our painter was hospitalized but shes back at it. Ill have plenty of both the Fat Belly's and Rattlin"Shad at the Ohio Muskie Show. In fact these lures have already produced some good fish in Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee.
Ross puts on a great show with great vendors with plenty of selection.

the fat belly looked so good that I had my nephew pick up a couple for me at the Chicago show. Actually, he bought 3 and I got 2 of them. Hopefully, I can add Missouri to Tony's list this spring. Oh yea, I know...Missouri isn't high on lists where to go muskie fishing. However, the conservation department continues to support the muskie program.

I remember netting a fat....really fat 40" muskie for my brother-in-law a couple of years ago in the spring. I have never seen such a fat muskie.....I regret not taping the girth. I wish I had a picture of that fish. Basically, most all the muskies appear to be healthy and weigh a little more than those stocked several years ago.

Oops, I'm off the subject of the Fat Belly......when I saw these lures, I told myself I had to have one and try the early spring muskie fishing. I'm sure almost anyone in a southern states will look at these lures and say the same thing....I've got to try one....

Good luck and thanks Tony,

How do you guys usually fish these rattle baits for muskie? Is it much like they are used for bass, yo-yo, ripping off grass, or burned? I never used one for muskie and was thinking of picking a few up at the Ohio show. Thanks for the help.
