MonsterMusky

Musky baits are much bigger, they can go faster without blowouts, and the big lips match the body size, most musky guys troll 3-7mph at least 3mph usually, so combine the size and speed = depth, and obviously the angle of lip, I made a few that were bumping bottom in 50fow going 4mph. Line diameter plays a role to, I was using 60lb braid. You would rarely ever catch a musky below 25' anyway but I just don't let out as much line to get it at 25'.

Nice work Pa, they look good.

Here are a few baits I made to keep my mind occupied until the spring musky season (only 4 months away for me). I have major cabin fever.

How about printing a picture of Hussien like you do with the fish and putting him on each side of the bait with a Dennis Rodman firetiger hair due, and really let the muskies eat him, lol.

Do you have a Saddam Hussein in natural perch ?(jk) LOL on the terrorist lures, good stuff.

Hey Woodie, how do you like the Nu-Lustre ? I seen some here in Canada and was thinking of trying it out. What do you think compared to the others, envro, devcon ect..?

I would love to try it out.

No worries Jason I understood what you were saying. I'm sure some other guys on here have thought about it before to, so I was just trying to see what you would do. I would never care if someone coppied a design for personal use and friends, it would just suck if someone ran with your idea and put you out of buisiness. Thanks for the tips guys, I guess I need to catch some fish now.lol..

I didn't mean to offend anyone with that statment, because YES I have modified many other designs as well. I would love to know the origional designers of all the classics, crankbaits, spinners, jerks ect...because they truly do deserve the credit, could you imagine those guys copywrited back in the day ? I personally don't think there are any 100 % origional lures left to be made, but you never know. Maybe it's nothing anyway I have yet to give it a good go and it's ice here in Canada finally, so I'll catch a few fish in the spring first before I do anything. By the way I respect all the custom builders on this site because I've learned alot from you, I was mostly talking about big companies getting ideas from us little guys and mass producing plastic junk.

Oooooooooooooouch ! That musta hurt, hope it's nothin to serious. I imagine he would have been let in the emergancy if it went through his hand.

I have an idea for an origional lure and have buit a proto type that works good. It's just a combination of old styles but I've never seen it done before. I'm not talking about different sizes, shapes , colors ect... it actually has different action, style. Do you just put it out, and hope no one copies your idea/design ? Or is it worth copywriting ect....? Or do you keep it for personal use and out fish everyone ? lol.. First of all I'm not looking to get rich or even close to it, but it would be nice to get credit for the design, before a hundred other guys coppy your stuff and just add thier little modifications ect... P.S. I'm to broke to do anything anyway.

Did they just upgrade the site after that last post on how slow it was ? I read that other post yesterday and when I logged on today it went from being the slowest to one of the fastest sites. Thanks for speeding it up for us if you did. :-D
