My best muskie baits are for casting and trolling. Thats why they are the best. Like the 9" sledge cast it for a few hours and your arm starts to fall off set the rod in a rod holder ,troll over some weeds and Wham!! a muskie trolling what a great bait!!
What my partner and I call KO baits (knock offs). I don't have a single bait in my box that is still in its purchased condition, if it was purchased at all. Incredible Creatures are great (if you can find them) but you have to throw a #5 french blade in front of them. Purchased Jackpots have a crappy hooking percentage, but they produce a lot of strikes. Even their most famous rep changes the hook style as soon as he takes ot out of the package. Hogwobblers are probably one of the best surface baits out there, but I wouldn't trust it to hold up to a fifty pounder, so I make my own version with thru wire construction. I wouldn't use a bait that isn't thru wire, so I bought a lathe, bought a wire bending tool, and a whole lot of hardware.
