I picked a few of these up at musky max and I'm not really sure how to fish them. What is an effective way to work the bait? I don't have a lot of confidence in it at this point and would like to gain some thanks

They are very versatile man. I have had some good follows, but have yet to convert any on them myself. The way I started to gain confidence was to just start throwing them to see what they could do. They actually have different rigs available too FYI. Think gitzit for small mouth, but muskie sized! I hope this helps. I am confident that you will like them the more you use them bud! Hopefully someone with more experience chimes in!

Work them like an erratic jerkbait. Work them like a dawg. Or like a jig. Fish over/around weeds or any deep/shallow cover. Work them down or up a break. Jig them down a channel edge. There is no right or wrong way to fish these. They work all across the musky range.

Thank you for putting it into words Jake! I couldn't figure out how to explain it with all that it is capable of haha

My thinking is the bottom treble will get caught on everything. Do you guys remove it?

Apeoples: my buddy got a twisted tube last week. We are going to camp for 4 days and are going to try these things out.

I give it short pops to work it down a break line. Super effective. Last season, I put one on on a 90 degree flat calm day and busted a 52 incher at noon on one.
