Location: Belgium | I was wondering what you guys think about a 6.5" burt model. I think that it may be an excellent jerkbait for pike and maybe a good spring bait for musky. |

Location: Ogden, Ut | I really like the idea of that. The tigers that I fish for here snub their noses at big baits. I do love the look of the Burt in the water so I still throw it now and then despite a 100% lack of success with it here...

Location: Belgium | I received a reply from Pete Maina and he says it's impossible to do on a short-term basis because changing molds is very costly but they are considering it. They get this request a lot from bass fishermen, apparently |

Location: London, England | If you want a smaller Burt why not just cut the back off a standard one, in the same place as the squirrelly is cut and use it like that? It will retain the action of the standard straight one which the rubber tail tends to dampen. I prefer them squirrelly though... |

Location: Belgium | tim, I have thought of that but they are hollow and I have no idea how to seal them after I cut the tail off |

Location: London, England | They have sealed chambers inside. If you make your cut through the "u" of "Burt" you will have a short recess before the next chamber wall. If you don't like the result with the shortened burt you can stick a tail in the hole and you'll have a squirrelly! |
