I'm someone who loves to fish on big bass on lakes with musky. What are some of your favorite big bass lures that also seem to attract musky. I love using the super spooks and large bass buzz and spinnerbaits. I'm looking to have fun trying out some new lures in this type of situations. Any Suggestions?

I have caught some BIG Bass on Magic Makers.
I let them flutter down around wood and that seems to trigger those "Green Carp" into hitting.

Musky sized jitterbugs. Ive caught more good sized bass on those than I have musky. Seems like rattle traps and medium sized crankbaits would work fine also. Super shad raps, baby shallow/depth raiders, etc.

the single most effective Bass/Muskie  multi-specie presentation out there is a creature. This lure will catch big bass and big muskies whenever they are in the same areas, which is pretty common. My biggest Wisconsin Largemouth Bass at 7.5 and my biggest Wisconsin Smallmouth a 7 came on a Creature, as did my biggest Wisconsin Muskie.

There are several articles in the Articles Section covering that technique.

Since all I catch are barse when musky fishing, guess I should offer this; I have caught some humongo large/smallmouth on the Hi-Fin Creeper in the jointed Frog pattern. Thrown over weeds, humps, lilly pads, points or flats, this bait does well for sure. I also hang them on a black Hawg Wobbler at night, as well as rockfish. These baits have also produced on suspended fish during overcast weather...

I average several Tonka bass each year between 5 - 7 pounds via a TopRaider...

The Lindy Tiger Tubes, 8 inch version, snagged my biggest, baddest, bass last year...

Another choice is BIG spinnerbaits like the Violent Strike Magnum. Great dual purpose lures.
