i'm making a new Muskie swimbait and don't know what would be the best; wake bait, shallow diving or slow sinking. the lure will be about 11" overall. i haven't made a Musky or seen one, only pictures and there seem to be a lot of color variations in the species. guess i'll just do the best picture i can find. any suggestions appreciated.

thanks, john

Hey John, The smaller muskies have more of a silver sheen to them. My friend caught this one two weekends ago. You can see a little bit of a blue purple tint to the slime. I know you can zoom in good with this site. You may be able to see the colors good on this one. This is an Ohio musky. I hope this helps.

What ever you paint will be fantastic ........I am sure of it. I like the swimbaits you make.

John

I'm fairly certain that is either a small pike or chain pickerel.
