Here's an idea I've had for a while-- a slow sinker minnow imitator that RISES on the retrieve, lip on top of bait maybe? If you ever watch a dying fish this is what they do, slowly sink, struggle to the top.
I love the idea. Anyone else ever thought about it? Want to try making one? What do you think? |

Location: Eagan, MN | Lobi I was thinking that exact thing just the other day!!! Then I remembered the recent In-Fisherman article about Doug Pearson's garage full of crazy, worthless lure ideas. But if someone wants to design, build, field test, mass produce and offer it for sale at a reasonable price, don't let my opinion stop you! |

| I'm convinced that everything we need to catch muskies from any enviornment already exists, but that won't stop me from tinkering and buying.Too much fun!I picked up a bunch of inserts and weights from JoMusky last weekend and have been playing for 2 hours. Can't wait to wash some specially weighted suicks!I bet you could weight one to rise on the retrieve and slowly settle.(hint , hint).Try some different stuff and different weight placement.Experiments gone awry can be fixed with some epoxy and spray paint.Fish don't care.Have fun tinkering!

Location: Belgium | lobi, the small 6" wiley jerkbait does exactly that. Still trying to find one though.
I might make some myself if someone can tell me where the lead is located on those wiley jerkbaits? |
