Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished | From what I know, you just reel them strraight in and the action takes care of itself. Also have heard that you may have to reel a little faster just to get it started. Never used one myself but I know a guy who does and has decent success with pike in Canada. He has never caught a musky on it however.... not to say it wouldn't work. Just no stats to go by is all |

Location: Savage, MN | Burning them is about the only way to work them. Like FAT-SKI said, the action takes care of its self with about a 12-18" darting action each direction. I have not had any musky love with them but the pike sure dig it. |

Location: Maplewood, MN | I heard from someone about this lure as a secret weapon. I bought 2 of them and so far just pike. It has a sexy swimming action when burned, and I mean burned. It doesn't drag much but you have to be burning! Trolling this bait could be deadly…So far I have just caught pike on it too haha this is an odd coincidence. If you pause just right on the retrieve you can get it to kick out wide. I need to use it for a full day still. Only have a few hours on these baits. |

Location: Savage, MN | Never even considered trolling mine before, not sure why. I can assure you that it will be added to this years line up. |

Location: Walker, MN | I have not given them their due time but caught a nice 44incher on one. It is a great lure for trolling behind a planer board as it has very little drag and runs pretty shallow. They don't move much water and have little to no vibration so clear water lakes would be better suited. They do work great on saltwater Kingfish and Tuna's. |

Location: Waukee, IA | I have used them for muskies and they love them! However, I will say that many of them follow but may not bite. I think it would be a great locator bait as you reel them in pretty fast and can cover lots of ground. Have been especially good during the sand bites where I fish them. (Northern MN) |

| I'm not to thrilled about the colors in the fresh water baits, but that may be just the pictures. Actually, I like a couple of the salt water bait colors. Are the salt water waxwing just as good as the fresh water baits? What makes one better than the other? |
