Muskie Fishing -> Lures,Tackle, and Equipment -> Double Showgirl?

Subject: Double Showgirl?


I am well aware of the success of Double Cowgirl and the big fish that it has produced. Why do I never see any mention of the Double Showgirl, which is basically a smaller copy of the Cowgirl? It just seemed odd to me. The Double Showgirl is about the same size as a Llungen DC8. I ask because I fish waters that don't produce many big fish (few if any fish over 48") and assumed the Showgirl was a better fit. Does anyone fish the Double Showgirl or is bigger always better?

Showgirls work! no reason not to throw them and they may infact be a better option on lakes where the fish generally feed on smaller forage.

I had a fish on last Tuesday on a gold double showgirl. They work, just throw them. It just may be that the DCG gives off a LOT more vibration and this is what triggers those fish.

BTW - The DCG will also work fine on those smaller lakes that produce very few fish over 48" as well. My buddy caught 2 - 30" pike on the DCG. They catch smaller fish as well.

If speed is more of a trigger that day than vibration go with the showgirl. If Vibration is the key that day go cowgirl.

I don't have a double Cowgirl, but I have a Double Showgirl. I agree with speed on the Showgirls. I am not sure, but I almost feel like most of my Mepps Marabous and Ghost Tails, etc. have more vibration, or move more water than a double showgirl. The Double Showgirl doesn't pull that hard at all, and the blade angle seems pretty shallow (near to the shaft).
I haven't fished a Cowgirl, but watched a guy use one. The blades seemed to have a pretty high angle, and boy did they push water when it came close to the surface near the boat!

I think the double (and single) Showgirl are good baits, but built for much different applications than the DCG is.

Thanks to all for the explanations as to to difference between the DCG and the DSG. Perhaps I was oversimplifying when I thought the Showgirl was just a smaller version of the DCG. I guess the #8 Colorado is nothing compared to a #10. I just got the bait and will be throwing it for the first time next weekend. That flashabou sure looks purty.
