| Anyone pull these this year? Seen a lot of hype about them. I'm still stuck on tuff shads myself. But may have to pick up a few. |

| I have around a dozen originals including a few first run foils he did. They run great I haven't had a fish on one yet but I know another local guy that has. He swears by them. |

Location: Mt. Zion, IL | Great baits that thump hard. Hard to believe they would thump that hard but considering their size, they put out some good vibrations. I was very impressed with the ones I have used from Llungen. |

Location: Tennessee | These baits are beyond amazing. We put them through trial by fire here on the Tennessee muskie fisheries. I'm not even sure the numbers of fish we have put in the boat on them at this point but it's the finest small crankbait I've used. Great depth trolling and a very very hard thump for such a small bait! |

Have you had any problems straitening the smaller wire hooks on them? |

I've not had that problem myself and we've hung *alot* of upper 40 and 50" fish on them. |

| I have never heard some of the theories that Cory mentioned in the podcast. It definitely made me take a step back and look at how I will target Muskie fishing for the 2016 season. I wonder how many out of towners you will see on Melton after being on the Muskie hunter tv show and now the podcast. I looked up dale hallow and Melton on navionics and I could not believe how much water there is!! What is the population of muskies per acre? I don't live to far from lake Webster in Indiana and they have a 6-7 fish per acre if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't even know where to start on a place like Melton!!! |

I'd have to actually give Negus, our region IV head biologist, a text to ask what they have estimated for a fish per acre density without just pulling a random number out of my hat. Hopefully it'll drum up some business with the publicity of the Musky Hunter show and such, this region is overlooked hugely. I've saw the number of boats targeting muskie drop drastically over the last 4-5 years from previous years. The big thing with Melton that frustrates alot of guys is the place isn't a numbers lake. Not like it was years ago. Now as the fishery matures, most anglers haven't adapted which is why we preach on doing so all the time. But what it is, however, is a trophy fishery. Our average fish are upper 40s, and we've lost track of the 50s we've boated down here. But if someone wants a numbers fishery, Tennessee can provide that too with just a little bit of driving. |
