Hello, I'm from Texas, so I don't have much of a selection of Muskie tackle to see first hand. I Have ordered almost everything online for my past trips. I'm looking for a double 10 with a black tail, and Flo green or LOTW Chart blades. Most of the chartruse colors are more yellow than what I'm looking for. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the help. No Muskie in Texas. That is probably a good thing for me, because if we did, I might not have a job. Then again I would have to do something, because it is not the cheapest sport to pursue. My Muskie fishing has been limited to a few trips to Pomme de Terre, three days on Cass, and two weeks on the LOTW each of the last three years in July. I hope to make at least one more trip in addition to my July trip (maybe a week in Minn.). Im hooked for sure. Bass just dont do if for me like they did before I caught my 1st Muskie. Thanks again.

I think that goes most of us. I was a die hard bass guy until I accidentally contacted a few muskies, and then once I actually hooked one, I was hooked.

I'd go w/ Dominatrix from T.I. Hands down the toughest most affordable Dbl 10 on the market. If you want boo go w/ the Flasher. Martian green/Black.
