Muskie Fishing -> Lures,Tackle, and Equipment -> Trolling Spinnerbaits-Which ones?	FlatThreadedNested

Mikes Extreme Posted 1/23/2007 10:47 AM (#233831) Subject: Trolling Spinnerbaits-Which ones? Posts: 2691 Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin I would like to get more into the slop this season with some trolling of spinnerbaits. Most of the slop is 1 to 3ft down and is milfoil. Lots of area to troll that is not fished much at all. Most of the spinnerbaits I have used are ok but just have not found the HOT one yet. How about some advice for a new slop trolling fisherman. What are some of the spinnerbaits I should look into? No rite or wrong answers here, just opinions..............

Posts: 227 Location: Southeast Wisconsin Hey Mike, What spinnerbaits have you tried already? I ve had luck in the same areas, super burning or slow rolling Nut busters and I used to catch a bunch short line trolling big MG spinnerbaits. Grim Reapers are nice, but tend to hang a little deeper. http://www.randomlurecompany.com/buffalo-hair_lures.php About half way down the page theres a couple pics of a new spinnerbait Im picking up this year that I think is going to work nice in the slop.

tomcat Posted 1/23/2007 11:16 AM (#233845 - in reply to #233831) Subject: RE: Trolling Spinnerbaits-Which ones? Posts: 743 you HAVE to check out some Musky Bling spinner baits. You can troll them fast and they will stay down in the water..you can troll them slower and they VERY weedless. They put out a TON OF THUMP Mike.. they looks GREAT in the water..very durable..i would get couple of Blings. you wont be disappointed in casting or trolling these. I think they are available at some of the Musky Shows..or PM me. i have every spinnerbait on the market and every basement guys spinnerbait too.. Blings are surely one of go to spinners and one i have a ton of confidence in (after seeing them land monster fish both casting and trolling). i ove 'em..but more importantly, the muskies eat them like crazy!!!! tomcat

darkwing1 Posted 1/23/2007 11:27 AM (#233847 - in reply to #233831) Subject: RE: Trolling Spinnerbaits-Which ones? Posts: 139 Look into the new Trueglide spinnerbaits which were created for just this reason. I haven't had one in the water yet, but from the looks of it should be productive and weedless.

WV Musky Posted 1/23/2007 11:27 AM (#233848 - in reply to #233831) Subject: RE: Trolling Spinnerbaits-Which ones? Posts: 569 Location: Williamstown, WV I have seen many spinnerbaits and bucktails but none compare to the durability and quality as a Willey's. Jimmy Willison makes them and he is good at it.....He's a standup guy that just makes a great product. And they catch fish. Check him out at his website at http://www.willeysbucktails.8m.com (and no i'm not sponsored by him...lol) shawn Edited by WV Musky 1/23/2007 11:30 AM

I have 40 stock colors and can do custom as well. I can send you pics of them as well. My website is in progress and should be up after Milwaukee. Kevin

Posts: 203 Location: Germantown, WI Mike, I have had some success both with Willey's and with the Snowcrest Festus spinnerbait. I too have thought about spending more time trolling spinnerbaits at Pewaukee. I've tried it some, but without any success so far. The fish I have caught trolling spinnerbaits were all caught in the Kawarthas (Ontario). I'm sure it would work in Pewaukee under the right conditions. Has anyone tried trolling the Long Tale spinnerbaits or Pearson's Grinders? I have a couple of Grinders and was thinking of picking up a couple of Long Tales. Tom Ramsey

Posts: 1430 Location: Eastern Ontario Mike, very few spinnerbaits are made to speed troll and get hammered by 40+ pound fish. Take a look at these, the lighter ones will stay higher with more line out but I use the 2.5 Oz ones and can troll them only a few feet back at 5+ MPH and they stay just under the surface. http://www.riverratlures.com

Posts: 1189 Location: Bagley,MN 56621 within the past few years GrimReaper got the nod when this question came up on the web. I had a few and they worked good, but havent used that presentation the last 3 few years. they still making them? they were big and sturdy.

Muskie Treats Posted 1/24/2007 9:41 AM (#234056 - in reply to #233831) Subject: RE: Trolling Spinnerbaits-Which ones? Posts: 2384 Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot If you're trolling in the top 1-3' take a light raddog and rerig it with 2 #7 or #8 colorado blades like an M&G. If you want to go a little deeper then go with the heavier head. Grinders with a colorado blade works well too. I like the M&G a lot, but you get around 10-15 hours before the arm falls off in my experience.

Posts: 432 Location: mpls I plan on doing lots of trolling this year with the "Super Chinook" by Muskiemachinery. Have you guys seen that thing!!?? I threw it in the pool at Chicago and BOY was I impressed. It has two #10 Colorado's spinning on the shaft,like a cowgirl.. I wish tha I had a picture of it. I should troll really nice over the tops of the Milfoil. My 2-cents, Joe Trueglide.com

muskyboy Posted 1/26/2007 11:45 AM (#234462 - in reply to #233831) Subject: RE: Trolling Spinnerbaits-Which ones? The Super Chinook and my other spinnerbaits from MM are the best and I also use Grinders. I need to try the Long Tale trolling sometime, I am sure that will work great too. Musky Snax is making me some special spinnerbaits as well Joe your new ones look great too but I haven't seen them in person

CiscoKid Posted 1/26/2007 11:47 AM (#234463 - in reply to #233831) Subject: RE: Trolling Spinnerbaits-Which ones? Posts: 1906 Location: Oconto Falls, WI Mike, Haven’t trolled them but check out JLong’s line of spinnerbaits. I have thrown the Longshot, and am impressed with the ability to burn it without it rolling on it’s side like a lot of spinnerbaits do. It maintains it’s upright position. Longtail is offering there baits in the #10 Colorado as well.

Reef Hawg Posted 1/26/2007 12:04 PM (#234464 - in reply to #233831) Subject: RE: Trolling Spinnerbaits-Which ones? Posts: 3518 Location: north central wisconsin I like my buddies GP Thumper when looking for a rubber bodies lure with a bit of extra thump. While made for casting, the heavier ones have been good for trolling too. We like to downsize the blade a step to say a 7 colorado, or a smaller willow to keep the speed and keep it from blowing out in the junk. Thanks for the pictures above, I need to check out some of the ones R. Collins talked about. I have heard lots about ole 'skippy' in his boat!
