Hey all- Had a solid bite in Minnesota- few weeks back in the reeds.

What worked for us - top water (top raider etc) buzz baits, spinner baits.

Curious if any of you gents find a better bait to pull thru that? Especially when you bomb way back in…

Nope. 2 oz. buzzbait is the bomb.

Violent Strike Extractor. Never gets hung up on anything except the fish's face. The Musky shop has them, or violentstrikelures.com.

Any muskie sized spinnerbait with an upturned hook should come through just fine. Lubowski makes some nice ones.

The Bomb by Figure 8. Going through thick cover, the more noise the better. Going to say that these have to be about the loudest spinnerbaits of any kind (spinnerbaits or in-lines) on the market.

Big Tooth Klack Weedless modal or any Muskie Sized Spinnerbait. And if you throw out in the weeds, rocks or open water in front of the Reeds I've had fish in clear water come out Reeds and smash a lure from 40 feet. One of the coolest strikes ever, working a Grandma and this zipped out a shashed it and to keep cadence was hard to do. She didn't miss and I had to cut hooks and I was a bloody mess but happy. This was a September fish.

Another suggestion would be the big 5" Johnson silver minnow. Tip it with a 5-6 inch grub, I use Kalin's. You could throw that thing on shore and reel it back. The big grub adds to give it the big profile. Kdawg

I think Pure Fishing bought the Johnson Silver Minnow, but I can't find if they still make them. I need more for Great Slave Pike!

The Bucher slop master spoon is widely available now, I like it. Thing performs like a weedless topwater. Which is also its downside. You come off the slop and let it flutter down, you gotta reel really slow to keep it from blowing out.
