Re: Musky Lures?????
Yes haha, the LT / "broom stick" is light in the world of musky fishing. Very "whippy" rod, great for launching small baits a mile.
That rod WILL work. Just keep those hooks SHARP.
I guess I should have elaborated the power vs finesse fishing but I think I have enough to work with. For one thing, you won't be able to toss DC-10's (big blades) effectively or big rubber on that rod anyways.
A few small bucktails and topwater baits should be all you need. It all comes down to personal preference when we talk bucktails. There are marabou, tinsel, silicone, ect. Personally, I prefer silicone. But that's just my two cents. They all have their time and place. I wouldn't go over anything bigger than a #8 Colorado. A single or double will do fine. Anything bigger and your going to run into issues with your set up.
As for topwater, any loud prop bait will work. No need to get crazy with colors here. One dark...one light...
Cover lots of water and don't give up. From what it sounds like your fishing in peak periods anyways (after work).
If and when you do hook one, try not to keep the fish out of the water for extended periods of time. Use those needle nose pliers to remove the hooks while she is in the net. CPR baby!
Hope that helps...feel free to fire re-attacks.
