Just thought I'd reflect on this some.

In my 45 years or so of muskie fishing I'll bet that my top ten lures has changed at least 20 times.

Here's my current ten:

DCG's or similar, all colors seem to work at times

Large spinner-baits (no one seems to make them any more, but the big M&G's are deadly)

10 Jakes, both casted and trolled. Grandma work also

10" unweighted suicks

8" Big Game (twitched)

Tail spinner top waters (lots of good ones, topraider is my favorite)

Smaller spinner baits (Rad Dogs, Grinders, and the like)

Small bucktails (real speed lures), Vibrex, Harassers, Mepps, Buchers and many others)

10" believers both solid and jointed (very versatile, can be cast or trolled, good in weeds)

Soft plastics. Bulldogs (I like magums, but Im old). There's lots of great stuff out there.

I can both cast and troll with these, I sort of feel I should have a jigging option like a Bondy Lure or a Fuzzy Duzzit, guess I better get at least one of each!

Wonder what this will look like 10 year from now?
