| Hey all, newbie here. Been fishing for muskie in the DE area, mainly where muskies have washed down from Marsh Creek. Its a shallow river, with some deep holes and is generally clear. I haven't had any hits on lures, only live bait. Would a Manta fit my needs? Just a solid overall lure that can run shallow, and wont get stuck? |

Narcans, beauzookas, mark king, the warlock, the list goes on and on... but my favorite is the riversnack 5" from muskyroller (that´s his user on here.) love that bait and actually thinking I may have to buy a few more! |

| Nearly twenty years ago, the first time out with a manta, third cast had a nice muskie t-bone the bait at boat side. Lost that fish on a jump. The manta has been my favorite glider ever since. Kdawg |

You may find the Hellhound previously suggested runs a bit deeper. Don't let that stop you, tho. m |
