  1. Nathaniel, No doubt about it, there are some phenomenal New York bait makers including the one who commented above. Problem is they can be hard to get and unless you can get them directly from the maker they go for grossly inflated prices generally speaking. If you're looking for info on specifics feel free to shoot me a p.m. but Baker's, wyss, Mr toothy, DK(though impossible to get)just to name a few. On a side note, has anyone been out on the SLR recently wondering what water temps are. Guessing a bit too warm to responsibly Target musky, during the day anyways
  2. Crap, how did i forget depthraider/topraiders?? And bulldawgs? Get those too.
  3. Ill keep it to readily available baits and assume you're a beginner Casting..dive n rise suick thrillers, bondy baits, spinnerbaits/ bucktails, flaptail like lees, large rattle traps, glidebaits, large swimbaits Jigging..tubes such as red October, large bucktail jigs, shumway fuzzy duzzit, bondy baits. Check out muskyshop.com for an idea of what's out there. The sky's the limit on what you can spend on a single bait but no need to get carried away like some of us...lol Get yourself a couple bondy baits, a few suick thrillers in 7,9, 10 inch, couple large rapalas, big Rattle Trap, and a couple larger swimbaits, some prettied leaders and go from there. Most importantly arm yourself with proper release tools and watch a couple YouTube videos on responsible handling of musky which becomes even more critical when the water temps get warm like they are now. Oh and first things first, call your credit card company and see if they will give you a credit limit increase

  11. For the love of God how is this boat still around. I'd buy it in a second if I had somewhere to keep it
  12. He uses this "t". And if Zach says to t your hooks then t your damn hooks! haha
  13. Heh. That they are glass rods. So I guess what I was really trying to say is you don't need to get carried away buying expensive musky trolling specific rods. I run tekota 500 and 600 and one 300. The 500 is probably about perfect. as for the teeing of hooks I believe it's supposed to be better for hookup percentage and your baits but there are some people with way more musky under their belt that could chime in with more real world info
  14. I don't really have a ton of insight or input to offer but I will tell you this: glass rods are far from a must. I have heard of isolated incidents of graphite rods breaking in extreme cold but even that I know many guys that troll right up to the end of the season using $35 Shimano TDR without issue year after year. Some guys will tell you I know you got to have the st. Croix trolling rods and spend a bunch of money on your trolling setups and while that may be good advice for the reel just get some decent stout rods and get out there.i run shimano tdrs with tekota lc reels(lc is a must for repeatability)
  15. I caught a 20ish king salmon last year in the Massena area casting a stick bait. I believe it was the end of September
  16. Anyone given theirs a good enough workout yet to formulate an opinion on how they compared to the old model? I know they have a faster retrieve ratio which is what really interests me about them and has me considering upgrading
  17. 3 size 88, one size 6, one size 38, one size 31, one size 35. 38 shipped firm
