Posts: 201 | I traded an extra Ice fishing flasher I had to a guy for a 4-12 XH TI rod and a bunch of baits. I mostly got bulldawg type lures and crankbaits. Included were 3 kill'r eels. I have never really musky fished before and I gotta be honest. These look like lures that were more designed to catch the fisherman than the fish. Anybody used them with any success? | ||

They actually both catch fish and can be worked through some really shallow cover. Kind of a soft jerk bait type presentation that has produced some really exciting bites for me. With that said, hook-up ratio has not been good. If you get the hooks home, no issues. My touble is getting the hooks to stick; really do not throw much anymore because of this. | |||

Posts: 2089 | I've done well on both the 6" and 11". I tend to fish 'em like a glider, quick and erratic with an occasional pause. 1st cast with an 11" several years ago on LOTW, a 48 ate it at my feet. Firetiger. They caught bunches of fish during the "heyday" on the North End of Mille Lacs too. Very underrated . | ||

Posts: 201 | So they are almost like a twitch bait if you want. Casting them and reeling them in probably won't do mush then. Sorry for all the questions I am just trying to figure this all out. I got a pretty good Idea of what to do with all the bulldawgs I got. The topwater baits are just bigger versions of what I use bass fishing and so are the crankbaits. These were just kinda strange. | ||

Posts: 2089 | Exactly like a twitch bait. Short twitches make 'em come alive. Think of 'em as a tougher Senko on steroids. On the cast, I let 'em sink for a second or 2 then begin the retrieve. Experiment and have fun! | ||

Posts: 1169 Location: New Hope MN | Fish em like a glider. I don’t have the patience for them… It seems like an hour before I get them back to the boat. I can see an application for shallower water/thick cover with a fish already located. | ||

Posts: 337 Location: Central WI | I've had quite a few fish on the 6" eel....usually use them for short casts into cover. | ||

Posts: 177 | Have had a lot of action on them but very low percentage hookups imo. | ||

Posts: 313 Location: Bemidji, Lake Vermilion | They are great baits. Can also be easily modified to improve hooking percentages (we've added trebles to some without affecting action). We do a few other mods to these baits which greatly enhance their attractiveness to fish and make them unique. I'd tell everyone what those mods are but there are a few fellows out there who might see to it I don't fish again if I gave up the info! I don't want a case of broken arm/leg syndrome. | ||

I believe that was the lure Greg Thomas was fishing when he won the PMT championship. | |||
