| Does anyone ever use a carolina rigged plastic for musky? I've wondered what the advantages would be to this and also would a floating lizard work well?
Thanks |

Location: madison wisconsin | I've had 40" plus skis follow bass style lizards before back when I used to bass fish. Seeing those fish actually got me to try musky fishing. Now largemouth are just known as green carp! 
I would think that they would work. Uncle Josh makes a musky sized lizard. |

| I could see a "power" carolina rig getting some action. 1 ounce or heavier sinker- Big Plastics. The main problem with a carolina rig is getting the hookset. It's hard enough on bass with a long leader, even harder on a muskie. I think it could be worth a try, especially on weed edges. Maybe I'll take a couple of my big tunsten weights up to LOTW this summer and give it a try some afternoon when it's hot and sunny and I need a break. |

| I remember Bob M catching some very large pike on Carolina rigged floating lizards in some dark bays in the spring a couple of years ago. I personally would rather use jigs over any other approach. I've caught skis on 8" Bass lizards and 6" Waterdogs, all rigged on Chompers fiber weed guard jigs. Never any real hogs, but walleyes up to 30" ate them up in Vilas County last year and the year before. When you get a 'thwack' on a jig, you never know what is going to be on the other end of the line.
