Location: Presque Isle Wisconsin | Best lure and retreive over weeds
1.) Large thunderbeast (perch color) max speed reeled straight in-won our muskie league with it 5 times this year + 27 other fish
2.) what else? double 10s max speed even at night
Best lure and retrieve deep water (over 12')
1.) 8" Huddleston swim bait- The new model with softer tail
stop and go retrieve with some bottom contact at times
2.) Largest Shack attack soft plastic - violent pull and pause retreive
Best lure - row trolling Old model Ernie bait bounced off the side of
bars or bottom ( deadly)
Have a wonderfull 2011 muskie season and when your in the Presque Isle area
meet me at the "View" for a cocktail |

Location: SE Wisconsin | Howie, do you change out the hooks on the Thunderbeasts? Glad to hear some input on that thing, I raised an eyebrow to it when it first came out, but this year I'll give it a try. |

Location: Presque Isle Wisconsin | Sam, I didn't change the hooks but I trimmed back the plastic some that form the Gills.I thought it covered the area of the front hook too much;missed two fish before I trimmed it back,didn't miss any after that.
I should have added in the post above that my biggest fish of the year came on the Extra large Hardhead (all black) that Roger Watters made up for me.
ABOLUTELY LOVE THAT LURE!! Towards the end of the warm water season I had a chewed up Thunderbeast and I used the tail (orange) on the Big black Hardhead
( tails are inter-changeable) and that combo was extremely productive also for the short time I was able to use it.

Location: Hayward, WI | One of my top performing baits this year from over shallow weeds to deep water was a Hardhead. Do you have any pictures of the extra large Hardhead? I haven't been on the forum much lately, and haven't heard of the bigger size. Is Roger making more of these or was it just a special thing for you?

Location: Freedom, WI | Curleytail - Made up a few for Howie and a couple other big bait guys I know, these guys are helping dial it in. They are a work in progress but they are getting close, have a few details to work out. Talk to your friend Craig he twisted my arm and has one.  |

Location: Hayward, WI | Thanks Roger! I think you can sign me up for one when you get them going. Never felt like the large was too small, but I wouldn't mind a bigger one either. Talk to you later!
