Posts: 2754 Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Here's what I added over the winter. What did you add to your muskie arsenal? Let's see your photo's! From right to left- Pounder Bulldawg, PET spoon, Bunker spoon, Howie (self made - couldn't find one at the shows), Mr Wiggly, TS Takin' Popper, Ducktail double bladed spinner's (red/yellow is keel weighted), Zam 22CM, Slammer Deep Diver, Zam Z, Spanky magnum double blade spinner, ZaltNAD "PI Deep-Six" . Still to come - 2lb Bulldawg. Thanks to Spencer Berman for the lessons in big bulldawg fishin' at the 2007 PI Outing. However, I don't think I'll throw it all day, like Spencer. Have fun!

All I can say is do you think I produce on gliders! Next year I'm going to have a musky estate sale.  I also made a handful of dbl 10 style tails posted on new bucktail project under basement baits.Attachments ---------------- P4170002 (2).JPG (89KB - 194 downloads) P4170003 (2).JPG (84KB - 208 downloads) P4170004 (2).JPG (79KB - 201 downloads) P4170005 (2).JPG (90KB - 195 downloads) P4170008 (2).JPG (88KB - 211 downloads) P4170006 (2).JPG (81KB - 207 downloads) P4170007 (2).JPG (81KB - 208 downloads) 2.JPG (64KB - 198 downloads) 17.JPG (83KB - 196 downloads) 16.JPG (93KB - 202 downloads) sunset1.JPG (69KB - 203 downloads) | |||

Still have not found a bait that works on the chip myself that is why I have so much I guess Those Danczyk's are so nice I don't want to take the hook protectors off!  Great work Chad! | |||

Posts: 2754 Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Todd- Those are both saltwater lures I found in bait shop's out in Rhode Island. The spoon is a Cheasapeake Bay Bunker Spoon. The total length of the spoon including the 10/0 trailer hook is ~10.5". The rubber bait is a high speed saltwater trolling lure from South Africa. It's 10" long. I first tried this lure at the 2007 MF PI Outing. At the end of the 2007 PI outing I fished with Howie Meyer on Sunday, he kept my original-it had some serious teeth marks. The teeth marks came from a fish Spencer Berman raised on a 2lb Bulldawg on Saturday, i.e., 3-4 cast's later my rod loaded up, but no hooks into the fish. At Howie's suggestion, I've since modified it for better hooking on muskies, i.e., I've re-rigged it with a custom designed double 12/0 hook. Therefore, I think I'll call it the "PI Deep-Six" after Howie's penchant for chasing deepwater big fish in late fall, i.e., it's designed to be deep-six'd, or run over rocks, bottom etc. and still be relatively snag free. It can be fished anywhere from 3' to +60'. As rigged from the manufacturer it's very heavy, i.e., it sinks at ~5'-8' ft/sec. I'm now working on different weights. Here's a couple more photo's. Note, the pinched down barbs! It's also hard to see in the photo's but the hook points are at ~15 degree up from horizontal, i.e., it should be pretty snag resistant. Before anyone else asks: No- there are none available. Of course Howie's going to get one, and so is Spencer. I don't think anyone would want to pay the price, based on our current MLO (costs).. I've tried contacting the manufacturer- no response, i.e., they don't seem to be interested in the muskie market- I'm buying at bait shop price. I might consider it for 2009, i.e., if it works like I think it will this season, and if I could get costs down. Have fun!
