Shouldn't make a difference at all. They can all be bent and twisted to alter the action to make them run how you want.

[quote="jasonvkop"]What size did you get? I cut the top hook off my dawgs as I feel they do more harm than good. Mainly I believe they stop the power of the hook-set as the rack against the top of the muskies' mouth.

Got a new dawg at the OH show and it had no top hook.

Yes, the new "made in the USA" pounders we tested last year have no top hook.

Yep, learned that the hard way when I started muskie fishing. One of my first lures was a MagDawg. I was throwing it with a 7' Gander rod. MH. 2 hrs of throwing that was a real workout.

Yeah, that'll make easy work of a pounder. I've not used the TI rods, but hear good things about them.

I used to use Big Dawgs for pounders, but picked up a Monster Mag Musky Innovations rod and I even lob 2 lbrs on it.
