Fishall Lures contest
We are having a contest in August for biggest fish picture. We will have a secret Item posted here and on our Fishall Lures Facebook page and post that Item on July 31st. The contest will run for the month of August. Biggest fish caught on one of our lures wins a free lure like the one used to catch the fish. You must submit two picures to win. One with lure in mouth and one holding the fish. You can get the lure in mouth in the net. The secret Item must be in the net with the fish and in the hold picture. Send pictures to

first question....does it have to be a muskie??? because your bait will draw all kinds of fish ive experienced it on a local lake that was clear so I could visually see it work, and it I caught 2 largemouths and 3 pike in an hour and a half....second.... if I win... is there any way I can be part in making the bait and can I put "bails" on the bottom of it???? actually I don't even need to be part of it... it something I thought was amazing when you let me come and tour your shop! I thought how cool would it be if I could help/watch it get done, and put bails somewhere on the lure! I love your baits I caught my first ski on one of them and it has an unbeatable action when used right through the water for a multiple of species and especially muskies! my first muskie came from what seemed a mile away and on the pause I watched it flash and miss the bait...the best part was 2 casts later it came back and nailed it! I will not ever forget it or the hospitality you have shown me in helping me chase these challenging fish! I fish a talonz every time I go out I feel pretty conifident I have a good chance its this one!
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Have you ever tried using them with 2 hooks and leaving out the middle hook? That should allow for some bigger hooks to go on. I'm still working on the video clips that I have but it scares me that a 45 inch folded the hooks the way that it did. The fish only had the back treble in its mouth when I netted it but it folded 2 out of 3 which scares me of WHEN I hook a 50 that i would lose because it straightened the hook. The action is second to none that I've fished with and even with the risk I'm still using it just wondering if you have ever played with the idea of taking out the middle hook and beefing up the other two after watching that fish hit so hard and violent that I wished it had bigger hooks. Love your baits mike, hope your not offended by me asking.. The fish was landed.. What a beast I'm passing up salmon just for the chance to hook up on thorn again. Luv that lake, I'm starting to luv that people hate it nothing better than taking a weekday off and getting the lake to myself... Weekends are stressful but the weekdays... It's on I'm just learning the lake and I've boated 2 over 45 in my last 20 hours on that lake.. And I'm just getting started baby haha. Too bad I've never Muskie fished in the fall. Hopefully I catch on quick!!!

The fish bent the hooks in the net. That explains everything. But yes you can lighten up your drag a little but no need to baby them either. The positive side of the Eagle claw hook is they set pretty easy. You dont have to break the rod to get them to penetrate. The downside is using 80 or 100 pound line with the drag cranked down you are going to break something. Those hooks are so sharp they will rip right through the jaw or even bend outward if the fish is boat side going nuts. That is one situation I avoid at all cost. If I hook a big fish at boat side Im in free spool until that fish is out away from the boat. Then re engage and game on. I always loosen the drag with smaller baits. Big rubber and other big baits you need more force to drive those huge hooks in. Two different things entirely. Mike
