In just starting out and I see everyone talks up the bulldawg, is the medusa just as good? I'm fishing shallow water with lots of snags and am thinking of getting some of the shallow medua. Also how are the shallow invader and the Poseidon for fishing shallow water around 2-7 ft deep? Thanks

I finde that my shallow dawgs are easier to use than my shallow medussas, its harder to get a shallow dawg to role on itself.

For paddle tail swimbaits, you might want to look at the non rigged lures fron brands such as wolfcreek lures or swartzonker, having non-rigged lures allowes you to weight it depending on how deep you want to fish.

If your interested in Bulldawg style baits in skinny water...and want to work the baits on the slow side....finesse .....check out the Hellkats W/ Cork. Excellent choice for Rubber in skinny water!

Shallow Invaders are a great crankbait. Straight crank, twitches & pauses, hard rips, or trolled they catch muskies. Wouldn't hit the water without em.

To answer your question, both bulldawgs and Medusa’s have their time and place and are both fantastic.

And, a shallow invader or Poseidon would be effective as well. Can't fish any of those baits wrong either. Almost like senkos, "they work for you!"

Be sure to modify those shallow invader's. Run an extended wire on the rear hook to place it further back your hookup percentage will greatly increase. A lot of fish tend to miss that rear hook especially when it's not extended back further under the tail. Another good swim bait is the Shadzilla from Water wolf lures. Has great action and you can get several different sizes and models.
