| I looked through my Muskies Inc. releases and found I started bass jig fishing in the fall of 2004. I've caught 43 tigers and trues on the brushhog setup. I have 3 tigers from 40"-46", and 12 purebreds from 40"-47.5" of which 4 were 45" or bigger. The vast majority of my total number were purebreds. 34.9% of all my brushhog catches were 40" or bigger so I don't consider it to be a small fish only technique. While it some might consider it a "creature" bait, it is considerably lighter than most of the rigs I've seen or read about because like I wrote earlier I use a 1/8 ounce Owner jighead which I hook my brushhog to. It might not be as effective on northern muskie lakes as I fish primarily southern pures and western tigers. Just my 2 cents. |

| back in my walleye trolling days on LSC I was bit off frequently on crawler harnesses. I bet I got more musky bites on those than I ever have casting big musky baits, which is how I primarily fish the last several years. |

I have pretty fair success catching muskies on a 1/8 oz owner jighead attached to a zoom brushhog.
Which jighead? |

| 1/8 ounce Owner Sledheads, like the keepers, hook length, sharpness, and strength. |
