| Mine is an orange harrasser with a copper willowleaf blade. A close 2nd is a black Kickin Minnow. |

Location: MN | Lake Vemilion guide Dave Swenson made a bucktail with a single fluted Indiana blade, three/four deer hair body segments, and lots of weight so it was easy to cast in the wind. He gave me one and it had mojo; over the years countless Vermilion skies fell victim. Unfortunately it now sits in a watery grave off of Arrowhead; one bad backlash and it was gone. I've tied my own but they just aren't the same.

Stan, I thought you'd enjoy this photo - Cedar Lake July 2012- ~10 FOW. I hoisted this beast off the bottom! I have no clue how it managed to get lodged like that. But I was ready to take a swim!
Anybody want to guess the weight of this waterlogged beast?
Have fun!

It's the pearl with red flake, the vomit, the pearl, the black with purple flake, & the perch. ;-) Oh & that pile is only about half of what I have currently. Zib, You are a Sick, Sick man. You should get some help....Ha,ha.. Just because I spent both of my kid's college money on musky gear doesn't mean I need an intervention.

I used a 9' custom rod built with xxxHeavy St.Croix blank, 65lb Power Pro, 80lb fluoro leader & a Shimano 400TE.
If you think it 50lbs out of the water, you have no clue about the guy holding it! LOL!
Have fun!

| Bring that sucker out of retirement Larry. You can`t take it with you. Did you ever get any on that Marge bait I gave you? I still have the original cats eyes tuff shads you gave me. Those are real nice. |

| That's a great story. Can you repair baits also? I have a mangled double d that I get action on just about every I fish. Ever since I caught my last 48" it just won't work the same. Too many holes. |

| Once the big one puts the wammy on a good lure it is hard to coax it back. Still worth the effort. Every once in a while you can bring them back. |

Location: WI | You can fix almost anything. Unless the part that's broken is the part of the bait that imparts the action. By the way I always wondered what an M & G stood for. Very good. |
