Location: washington state | 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 |

Location: Burton, Ohio | 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

thanks tigger, i got impatient and painted it already. i'll post a pic when it's finished. really nice swimming action on it. i'll do a smaller one next time and go with the green/olive color pattern.
