Posts: 32761 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I have a box full, and use them a lot. I can make that bait walk the dog fast or slow, snap up and down at will, and nose down right, then nose down left. I have a couple of boxes of other lures, and none of them are as versatile. Good baits and just as important to me, really good people. Anyone who can't catch muskies on a Suick is not trying very hard, which is fine... there are baits I 'can't' catch fish on too. | ||

Posts: 935 | Suick's my favorite bait to throw- period. Hardest hits I've ever had have been on them I never leave the dock without at least 25 of them in the boat. Have caught muskys on them every month from May-Dec. there is never a wrong time to use one. Here is a couple videos I did with TRO on them first one is a short video just showing how I use them, second Video is longer version with fish being caught on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBncAIOpMcE&t=128s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opqOoaRlKao&t=142s Jeff Hanson madisonmuskyguide.com | ||

Posts: 1129 Location: NorthCentral WI | 9" HI Suick is one of my highest confidence baits. I wasn't a huge fan of them until years ago when I watched my league partner triple in an hour, including a 45" and 42" on back to back casts. Since then they have become a go-to bait and I even have one rod dedicated to Suicks that always has a 9" HI ready to go. Plus, I am happy to support a super nice, down to earth family like the Suicks! Edited by MartinTD 2/22/2021 12:20 PM | ||

Posts: 103 Location: ITALY | i love suick! unfortunately for me I can only use it for short periods and that is in the post reproduction when the big pikes are still in the bank ... with the advance of the season they go deep and therefore I prefer other baits ... but if there is weed, rocks and pikes in shallow water is deadly ... I use it with long pulls and pauses to get it back up ... in my opinion the easiest to use is the 9 "weighted and the 12" ... I would like to try the Frankensuick .. . what are the differences to the 12 "apart from the length? | ||

I liked the set up with a solid ring on the leader, going to a split ring on the Suick. Going to try that, bet it gives a little better action. | |||

Posts: 76 | A confidence bait for me particularly on wind blown rocks/points. My biggest WI fish came on a Suick. They do need a retune at times and it can take a bit to get it back to where it was. Love the history of the lure. | ||

Posts: 239 Location: Elroy, Wisconsin | Back in the 70s and 80s first 30 muskies in my boat were on Suicks. Some work, some don't. Mudpuppy | ||

Posts: 8703 | Thanks for the replies everyone, and for the videos. Kind of confirms what I was afraid of, actually. That IS what they're supposed to do. | ||

Posts: 2751 Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | I gave mine away on a Muskie fishing/camping trip with Ranger @ Iron Mountain iron mine pits. It just didn't fit my style of fishing. LOL! "Al, I've never seen anyone work a lure like that!" - Todd Forcier. Have fun! Al | ||

Posts: 17 | I sell them on eBay after trying to like them for the hundredth time lol. I always go back to the Smity jerkbaits. They cast better and my muscle memory is just more in tune with them. Only problem with the Smity's is that big fish seem to shake them easily (no problem landing smaller fish). | ||

Posts: 37 | For a long, long time 90% of my fish came from a black Suick, sucker Eddie bait, black bucktail w/silver blades and a black Cisco Kid topper pretty much in that order. Since then I have spent MUCHO $ and done about the same. I became a muskies worst enemy in ' 46 so I guess that explains that. | ||

Posts: 36 | I own a few but my go to dive and rise is a Sledge Must be a southern thing Mikie Ive never caught a fish on a Suick but I have caught a ton on Sledges. I'm definitley not arguing that Suicks don't catch fish but Sledges are my confidence bait when it comes to dive and rise | ||
