As part of the tips page upgrade lets offer a top ten list of MMA member suggested lures. Lets provide new anglers with a starting point (if they could only afford ten lures).
What ten lures would you suggest?
Please give mfr, model, size, color
Example:
1. Musky Innovations, Bulldawg, Regular, Black
1.) Tackle Booty, SuperD, Regular, Black/orange tail
2.) Musky Mayhem, Double Showgirl, Black/orange blades
3.) Suick Lure Company, Suick, 9", Black or yellow/brown
4.) Musky Mojo, Wabull, 9", Carp
5.) Musky Mojo, Weagle, 9", Black
6.) Bucher Tackle, Topraider, regular, Baby coot or loon
7.) ERC, Triple D, 9", Glitter Shiner
8.) Musky Mania, Jake, 8", Red Horse
Those are the ones for someone just getting started, but my top two lures arent even on there. If they really get into it they would have to have these:
1.) Tackle Booty, SuperD, Magnum, White
2.) Musky Mayhem, DCG, Silver
I just dont know how good these lures would be for someone who has never musky fished before.
1. Suick- 9" Wild Sucker
2. Bucher Tackle Topraider- Baby Loon
3. Bucher Tackle Depthraider- 9" jnt. perch/ sucker
4. ERC DDD- 9" Tullibee Holoform
5. Jackson Lures Grandma- 9" Prism perch
6. Musky Mania EXO- 15" Tullibee
7. Mepp's Musky Killer(giant or reg.)- Firetiger/Pink
8. ERC DD- 9" Perch
That's all I got….I need some new lures.
In no particular order. I try to think of it as what "tools" I need to cover the water column I'm fishing in. Well…at least most of the time.
1-9" weighted suick
2-9" grandma jerk
3-Triple D
4-Bucher depthraider: Jointed or straight. I prefer straight for casting because you can"dance" the bait.
5-9" Bulldawg
6-Shad rap
7-Shumway flasher
8-Double 10 cowgirl or DC9/10
9-Spinnerbait:
10-Topraider
10B – Weagle or walk the dog style bait
1) #6 Blue Fox Bucktail, White or Black
2) Drifter Tackle, 8" Believer, Perch or 9$ Bass
3) Bucher Lures, Slopmaster Spinnerbait, Frog
4) Mojo, Weagle, any color as long as it's not my custom
5) River Run Tackle ,Manta Hang 10, baitfish or walleye or perch
6) Talonz, Little Claw, Tan/Green Perch
7) Phantom Lures, 7.5" Jerk, Perch
8) Musky Mayhem, DCG, Rainbow
Talonz Little Claw twitch version
Weagle (cady version fire perch)
Loke 6 inch Jointeds
Talonz Slasher (jointed)
Crane 205 (perch)
Shumway Flasher (double #8 blades) black with gold blades
Nils master 10 inch 007 perch
Talonz Slasher straight version
S.S. Shads
Hoosier 9 inch gliders
I also have to say good things about Rapala magnums and super shads and the Mordas Minnow. I catch more pike on the Rapalas but that little 5 inch Mordas straight gave us a 7 fish day on St. Clair when nothing else worked.
