Casting, what baits?
As I've posted b4, I'm relatively new to muskie fishing and have caught all my fish trolling body baits. I have a decent (depending on who's counting :) ) selection of body baits, Loke, SSR, Wiley, etc... I would like to get out casting a little more and I am looking to add some casting lures to the tackle box. What should I get? I'll be fishing LSC. My rods are rated for up to 2oz. I just received the R&H catalog and the choices are endless...

Try to come to the MMA banquet..March 4th Lansing..There will be a good selection of "tested "casting" baits there ..including some custom Bobbies/ custom spinner baits etc..and can get soem first hand advice depending on type of fishing you like..and where/when you want/can fish.. (can impact colors/size/type of bait of course)

KB....your rods rated for 2 oz. are going to limit you to how much "LUMBER",you are going to be able to throw.I could be wrong...don`t have one in front of me..but most big sticks say 3.5-5 oz.??? I THINK...but not sure..
that would 86,magnum dawgs,Big fat jerks,etc...

Re: .
True but it also depends on the rod. My 8' St Croix rods are rated for up to 3oz. This rod throws a 6oz. mag-dawg like a dream!NSTAGATOR wrote:KB....your rods rated for 2 oz. are going to limit you to how much "LUMBER",you are going to be able to throw.I could be wrong...don`t have one in front of me..but most big sticks say 3.5-5 oz.???

I will second Kingfishers reply on the Little Claws. They have a few different models and they catch fish and have a very durable finish.
One that has not been mentioned is the Rapala Super Shad.
I just picked up some Grandmas at Gander in Taylor for $9.
