Location: MN | - bucktail (double 10 or double 8, black/nickel)
- spinnerbait (single 10, black/nickel maybe some red or chart)
- suick (10" unweighted, firetiger)
- believer (10" straight, firetiger)
- hard head (middle sized, with weights, walleye) or mag bulldawg
- top raider (or other prop topwater, black)
With that set of lures you can cover basically any depth or weed cover, fast or slow, trolling or casting. |

| I highly recomend black and silver and gold and black buck tails both meps joe bucher outdoors and musky mayhem tackle make great products for jerk baits you cant beat suicks bulldawgs medusas phantoms and hell hounds top water gooches tally wackers top raiders and dont forget hawg woblers all these I have used and have had great success I use alot of orange and black fire tiger gold and black silver and black clear water I like black and white and more natural colrs such as perch crappie and walleye murkey water brighter colors such as black and orange fire tiger are great musky fishing is like fly fishing you wana try and match what their eating another time proven bait is a reef hawg I mainly use baits like bull gawgs and medusas in deep water and baits like suicks and phantoms over weeds and buck tails also top water I use over shallow weed clumps hope this helps |

| Let me get this straight. You are new to musky fishing? If that's correct how did you come to the conclusion you need to buy a 9'XH rod with a Tranx as a first time set-up? To offer a fly comparison that's a little like a new fly fishermen purchasing a 13' Spey rod. It can be done for sure but it makes that entry level a little on the rough side. The topic of your thread is also a little confusing. You've made a decision to purchase a rig before you have decided what lures to throw. If I may offer a suggestion you might want to consider a more general purpose rod/reel combo that can be used for a wide variety of lures. Go into that specialty stuff as you get more accustomed to the sport and knowing what types of lures work for you. Just my opinion but I see a lot of guys buying gear that they end up not using because they bought the "trendy" or specialty gear that they read about or saw on a TV show instead of things that are giving them a good foothold in the sport. |
