1. 9" weighted suick
2. 10" weighted suick
3. 6" bobbie
4. 9" weighted bobbie
5. 7" suick

Like K-bob.. I love suicks but I also would throw in a vote for weighted Burt/Squirlly Burt.

Suicks are great for pulling through the weeds/timber/rocks.. you name it.

Weighted Burts have huge rattles that make noise.. I like the profile and the hang they have..

I also have caught fish on sq. burts and burts. Actually, the only muskies I ever caught on a burt is at night. Biggest fish I ever lost was on a sq. burt at night. So I like them at night but haven't done well with them during the day. I prefer the weighted model because of the loud weight and the unweighted is too bouyant for me.

Suicks....Bobbies are just too much work for me.
I love Suicks. Big Suicks. Any that are weighted, I weight myself so they still have a nice slow rise. I also coat mine with Envirotex because Suicks aren't very durable.
Caught a lot of fish on Suicks, now I only throw them in very exact spots and conditions.

Baby suicks can be fun to throw! But yes get a couple 9" suicks and start throwing... You might have to play with the metal tab in the back inorder to get it to run right, but once it does. I've heard they catch fish

I don't catch as many fish as most of you guys, but I have caught more on Reef Hawgs than other jerkbaits. I caught a few on my own jerkbaits that I used to make, as well as Suicks and Bobbies.

LOL, Ty. Anyone who's spent time in the boat with Ty has probably gone home that night to soak hands in hot water just to unbend them from gripping that rod and jerking a suick...jerking a suick...jerking a suick...jerking a suick...jerking a suick...

Suicks tried and true... but the mag Slow Tease from Hawg Seekers put a few in the net for me last year. SWEET slow rise on these. Similar, but a little beefier than the Suick Thrillers.

I have to concur with Mikie. The Sledge is the best, most durable, and most underrated chop bait on the market today. Now, if we could just get Mr. Greg to get them to the stores.

Suick
Hawg Seeker Belly Dancer
Sledge
Reef Hawg
Bobbie

Bend the eye of a suick to tune it like a crankbait. Bending the eye gets them to track straight WAY easier than messing with the tail. I bend the tail to control dive depth.

If I had to pick five, two of my suicks would be mad at me

Smity Bait, both the large and small sizes. I like the ones with the lead in front of the front hook, he's making them with it more in the middle now (I guess that's how they originally were made).

Of course I caught my 1st musky on a smity, and I've never even had one look at a Suick yet.
