Attractive Muskie Lures
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios
Choosing muskie lures that work is a problem for beginners as well as seasoned anglers when hunting forty inch or even bigger muskies. There is nothing like a good lure to attract the heavily teethed fish. Muskie hunters always stock a variety of lures, and they would change the muskie lures several times a day or even in an hour. Muskie hunting has become the favorite recreation for thousands of Americans, and many of them are looking for record-breaking catches every time. Finding the right set of tools and fishing techniques that work for you hold the key to your success.
Pro anglers have struck "gold" with different muskie lures. The preference can be based on the results they get from the hunt. Some factors like the method of presentation, time of the day, season, speed of retrieval, floating distance, movement of the bait etc. affect the chances of getting a great catch. At the seasons' beginning muskie hunters get easy catches, but the success rate falls as the season progresses. The reason can be muskies get used to the color, movements and characteristics of the lure. Irrespective of the type of muskie lure, a good option is to try quick retrieving, giving less time for the fish to have a good look at the lure and decipher what it is.
You can identify as many as twenty-five types of lures. The most common muskie lures are surface baits, jerk baits, crank baits, spinner baits, big jigs etc. Along with the color, shape, position in the water and movement of the lures, the condition of the hook and tackle line needs to be checked after each successful or failed attempt to hook a muskie. Since muskies have strong teeth, they can inflict some damage to the lines. The baits that work well in dusk or dawn may not produce the same results in midday, in clear water. Assuming the muskies are used to such baits and try something of your own defying all logic and lessons you have learnt about muskie hunting. The lures that give an impression of a struggling and helpless prey can immediately entice your catch.
Just like our different personalities, our muskie hunting habits also vary. Therefore, you are free to experiment with a variety of lures. It is always desirable for muskie hunters to be more patient than other anglers. Always anticipate the best catch in your next presentation. Choosing the right set of muskie lures holds the key in raising that heavy catch on your next angling expedition.
