Posts: 2112 Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | This weekend, My favorite bait of all time lost it's life, sacfricising itself to a 39" fish up near Hayward. She was an Original Bulldawg, hand poured, with sevenstrand (we all know how much better those worked). Her final resting place is in my display case, right along side the hothead that caught my first musky, a 45". The "Bait that has no knickname" had caught 1/4 of the muskys in my boat, as well as COUNTLESS Northerns. As you may be able to tell, she has been remelted on several occasions, and has been "zip-tied" in three different places to hold the harness in place. She is survived by the 200+ baits still alive and well in my box. I thought that this might be a good opportunity to expand on that "Musky Carnage" article that appeared in M.H. magazine. Please, add pics of your retired baits, along with the story! Attachments ----------------  100_0311.JPG (54KB - 78 downloads) | ||

Posts: 3242 Location: Racine, Wi | I lost my favorite DR 2 years ago while trolling with Shep. I bought 2 to replace it, and they definitely don't put fish in the boat like the old one.  The Bomber Long A that I have had since I was 16 is the next in line with well over 40 fish on it, and that one had to get an epoxy injection to fill in a hole from a tooth that was letting water in. That bait will be around forever. (hopefully) | ||

Posts: 392 Location: KY | This one accounted for four fish in one season. That’s a lot when you only get to fish half a dozen days a year. I could have strangled myself when I realized I cut the primary hook. It was a “Dinner Bait” with Owner hooks. I have not been able to find another to replace it. I guess I will have to tie my own.
