| Has anyone tried this setup for muskies? They make it in a 5",7" and a 9" It looks like it would work other than worried about hook placement on lure. |

| It's like riding a moped. It's great as long as your friends don't see you.
In all seriousness, a guy I used to fish with swore by it. Although, I always got the action rather than him. I never did see him catch anything with it, not even a pike.
There are much better lures to use in my opinion. |

Location: Northern Wisconsin | I have caught some nice pike on a Mann's Jelly Hoo (weird name I know) with a big jig head. I would imagine they would work for muskie.

| Babe Winkleman did a show about them for pike a few years back. I'd be too embarassed to use them for muskies myself, but they might work. |

| I guess it is an embarrassing bait to use but catches fish! I don't understand; really no different than using a big jig with a tail on it or using a bull dog almost the same kind of action. |

Location: Pelican Rapids, MN | I hate to admit using one, but I finessed a few of them around several years ago after a late spawn and the fish were super lethargic and laying in shallow water. I switched the rig of course to a heavier 7/0 swimbait bass rig. The action of the rubber is a no brainer - It's just like the slug-go or Fin-s and they all get hammered. It's the ad campaign and the big fake pearly whites selling 'em that makes it an embarrassing purchase.
And if you're looking for a cool rubber stick swimbait, check out the Bass Kandy Delights in the larger striper sizes. Used 'em last year. They are sweet! |
