Anybody who has done all the homework care to share the various construction standards (wire size, etc.) for Cowgirls vs. Dadsons vs. Rabaska vs. Handlebarz vs. whatever the flavor of the month is?

Thanks for the response. This is helpful, but I'd really like to see a comparison of Dadson vs. JH vs all the other brands. I'm about 250 miles from the nearest brick-and-mortar muskie shop.

Good idea. Ask a 50 in muskie, they have all the answers.
The next best thing is talking to Dick Moore he thinks just like a big muskie.

The musky don't care about how they're constructed, they just try to eat them.

Biggest difference in brands is probably the wire size and weighting. I doubt anyone has actually taken the time to make a comparison chart of the hundreds of different brands out there today. If you have one you like, try and copy the setup. Nice thing about building your own is you can try something, and if you do not like it you can cut the wire and reuse all the components.
