About 20 years ago I bought a similar lure that had a silicon skirt with one prop & a much smaller size that was geared toward bass & pike. I had bought the parts to make this several years ago but never got around to actually making it so I finally stopped procrastinating & made a smaller musky version to experiment with this weekend. I’m thinking about adding an Esox Assault Killer tail.

If it moves it's food...........should work..... might have to burn it to make blades spin

Blades could give a unique sound. I have thrown a tiny spinner with those blades before. I have made some cool buzz baits with unique blade combinations will have to post pics.

I know a place that would work well on. maybe a little less skirt for where i'm thinking but always cool to see something a little bit different.

This bait hangs with some other vintage baits in my man cave. It's a Pflueger tandem spinner I found in my grandpas box after he passed.

Ya I did bulk up the skirt too much. I do it with my double 8's & 10's but shouldn't have done it with this because it hindered the casting distance. I didn't add as much weight as I do on my regular bucktails because I thought it would run deeper & wouldn't need more weight.

 

I tried for only a few casts Friday evening (in the rain) & it ran a good foot or more under the surface and the blade spun really good but I wasn't happy with the casting distance due to the bulky skirt. I'll rebuilt it with more weight & put a EA 6" Killer tail on it. I would of used it more but I had already caught 2 muskies on a double 8 & had 2 others follow & jump out of the water after the bucktail so I couldn't justify experimenting with another lure.
