Location: sauk rapids, mn | My best lure was the Slidin' shad from Doug Kloet's Musky Magic Tackle. Most of my fish were caught on these baits. But honorable mention goes to the bullfrog colored topraider.
Bulldawgs, Hellhounds, and Phantoms with tails all were also producers.

Location: Sioux Lookout On Canada | The shumway Flasher and baby flasher bucktails. Bucher's topraider loon pattern and cowgirls did the job this summer. Over 40 muskies boated on these lures this year. Still looking for a great fall bait. Walleye pattern Ernie's have worked so far this fall. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | I had better luck with really small baits this year overall though my two biggest fish came on double Cowgirls. My trusty little chart/purple Slippery Sam Jr. was a killer bait this year followed by a black/orange Pacemaker. |

Location: So. Illinois | A black and orange Northland muskie spinnerbait. I had this lure on one of my rods all year long, it would call up fish when nothing else worked. It now has very little hair left on it and it continues to catch fish -- no explaination to why this bait has worked so well. |

Location: Sioux Lookout On Canada | I have old shumway funky chickens that are like that. old, bent with no feathers or paint but they continue to produce fish. I often think that some lures send certain vibrations or something whereas, brand new baits of the same make or model do not work as well. Any comments? |

Location: Maple Grove, MN | The best of lures for me were, as usual, CJs Spinner baits. It was the second straight year where my boat averaged better than one Muskie per four hours of fishing. (Up from our historic average of one Muskie per six hours.) Sometimes the fish preferred the small tandem skirted CJs, sometimes it was the large Willows hair baits, and sometimes it was the single bladed hait baits. But it was a rare outing we didn't put fish in the boat with one or more CJs.
It seems that the more people we saw throwing the big baits, the better those CJs worked. It sure was fun having guys come over to see the fish we were releasing and couldn't believe what we were throwing.
You don't need big lures. You don't need cool or fancy lures. You just need a good lure in the right place at the right time to catch a nice Muskie.  |

| There is more than one lure out there? My number one choice this year is by far the bulldawg. It has landed over 70 muskies in my boat this year with the largest being a huge 52.25. The pounder in particular has been hot as always. The new additions to the dawgs both this year and especially the ones that are going to be hitting the market next year such as a harder more durable plastic mixture, US heavy duty split rings and custom made extra sharp hooks. In addition to this they have shifted the nose weight back to it wont pull out. Basically a great lure just got better, so muskies look out. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | TOPRAIDERS in any color and nickel/black double blade mid-sized llungen tails accounted for a good percentage of the muskies in my boat (and a good number of big pike too!) I just checked the log and found 42 muskies this year on these two lures. The killer eel made a strong showing later in the season as well. |

| The pounder has been my number one bait this year in both follows, figure eight fish, and fish landed. The legend outcast is still holding onto the second spot as my best trolling lure and the huddleston swimbait coming in third but particularly well during the late and early coldwater periods around iceup and out. |

| Double Cowgirls put the most in my boat again this year. Bulldawgs were second best. I wonder if there is any correlation between throwing only girls and dawgs and those being the lures I caught my fish on? |
