Posts: 54 Location: La Crosse, WI | Here is a few of the giant bucktails that I now sell and will be using:) I am still trying to get equipment that will handle them. I do have a Grandt Stealth rod that will easily handle these baits, now I am looking at a shimano Calcutta TE 700. I need to sell some more lures before I can afford that beast though:o The 31" lure is actually a jerk bait and has amazing action in the water, but holy crap is it a lot of work, but it will be worth it when something hits it. I also added a few more hooks and wired the worm, but don't have a current picture now. Wish me luck fishing and at the doctor's office:) My favorite is my shad version and my black and gold, both of which I don't have pics yet. I also added my small ones that I plan to fish with.

Posts: 54 Location: La Crosse, WI | I just spooled up my intermediate reel with Cortland 100# (Shimano 700B) and practiced casting 1 pound of lead sinkers in prep for my pool demos tomorrow in Fond du Lac, WI for the Winnebago Musky Club. I have to save up a bit more for my 700TE that will be spooled with 130# Bronzeback and yes, I have a rod that easily casts the one pound of lead or my huge bucktails/pounder. I attached photos of my finished bucktail and my favorite looking shad style I just finished, and yes, that is a 450# custom double bearing leader in the picture:) Call me crazy, but I also plan to fish with the 30" giant jointed rapala this year too. I will have vids of it in the water soon. The regular style will be in the pool tomorrow:o I also attached a picture of my rod, also very highly recommended. Thanks for looking!

Posts: 54 Location: La Crosse, WI | I just heard back that a 49" Musky was caught on my bluegill colored Lake Shak'r Jr with an extension. I have been told about many follows, but this is the first fish that I have been told about, but I am sure their is more. I will be seeing the picture tomorrow when he gets a few more baits. It was also my customers first musky, so he is getting a replica and retiring the bait. Here is the giant fish catcher.
