I was discussing this with a buddy last night on the water, and I was curious to hear some peoples answers. What single bait has caught you the most muskies? Not the one lure type, or one brand, or style, the one specific lure. How many fish did it catch? Is it still in action? What happened to it?

I think if you query the Lunge Log it would be a Suick.

I had a wood crappie (well it became just "wood colored") 6" Phantom with over 40 fish.... Its at the bottom of the lake, lost two years ago ..line broke on first cast one afternoon..gone forever (lesson learned take baits off when trailering the boat, sharp hooks from multiple poles can nick up your line). Anyway, When you have a lure that productive you have a backup

...same bait..pretty much all wood colored as well now....has 25+ fish...I'll take a pic and post.

Original prototype HardHead, 44 fish. Might have to take it out and try and make it 50.

My most durable lures have all been jerkbaits. I caught 123 muskies on one single Squirrely Burt. Over 200 muskies on 3 different Mantas. I didn't keep track of when they broke. Also over 60 muskies on a single Bobbie Bait.

That is impressive! I have a nasty looking phantom but mostly hook-rash unfortunately....Someday it'll be from fish.

I'm thinking in 25 years, the Rizzo Wiz has caught me well over 100 fish or all shapes and sizes. It's not a big fish catcher, its an action lure.

Y'all catch hundreds of fish on one bait? I'm still trying to catch the first one on any bait.

Then use one of the baits listed. Combine that with a lake you know has fish and your odds of catching one is greatly increased. Im blessed, Ive been fishing and own a home on a very productive "action" lake.

Blue/nickel supermodel has gotten around 20 in the last few years and 6 over 50. We called it the cheater bait last year, it was on fire.

Interesting thread.

I have discussed this with a few folks before. I have a sucker colored Suick that has 20 plus fish on it. Now ... is it the lure, or is it because I always throw that thing and it's in front of hungry fish? Everyone has a confidence lure that they will throw for a period of time every time out on the water. I also throw a walleye colored pounder quite a bit and it is catching up to the Suick.

Anyway lots of lures on the market ... many for the fisherman.

The Musky Bug caught allot of Muskies and no one uses it anymore I don't think.

I have a an old 9" granma bait that Raze1 from this site put a metal ip in, foiled and clearcoated it. 32 muskies and still going strong. You cant even tell it's caught alot of fish. He did an HR for me, same clearcoat, caught quite a few fish, no chips, whatever he is using, its not envirotex, thats the best durable clear I have ever seen on a bait.

I would have to give the nod to an old Husky size black Hawg Wobbler I purchased used, a jillion years ago.
Ironically big Bass and Pike love it too, it's f-an golden. The blades are so loose, and it's been repainted by me with model paint.

Like Todd, I would have to say a 9" holoform silver Grandma is a close second. This bait has worked extremely well during a certain season. It's been shredded...I would like to get them coated like yours.
