Location: North Metro, MN | First prototype turned out sweet! Ran way better than I thought. A pretty versatile whatever it is. I wanted something that would be like a cool weight forward bucktail w/ good action burned and on the fall, yet can also be jigged vertical for deep stuff and my river pals. Front attach like bucktail w/ cool fall or attach to middle swivel (w/ or w/o hook on front) and its a well balanced jig type. While testing I also discovered it looks sweet burned on the middle attachment & you can rip it like some kind of jerkbait bucktail covering different depths. I haven't named it yet but I guess its some kind of swimamajig.

| That's an interesting looking bait.
Jigging for muskies is still a frontier. Let us know how it works for you. |

Location: North Metro, MN | Well it works.. I had an idea for a great place for it. I got to use it for a bit more today, the first time testing I only got to try it for about a half spot before dark. Started shallow and took a couple casts w/ it before picking apart the thick weeds on the spot w/ a little winner spinner. Got 1 little guy and then it was off to the spot I thought would be perfect... a nice mid-lake hump. I bombed it along the break and counted it down to get it where I wanted. Gave it a few long sweeps and pauses and it got crushed on that first cast on the spot... even got a couple sweet mid-air flips.
