I caught two Muskies a 40" and a 36" in a three week period using a Northland Reed Runner spinner bait. I like these lures for bass and little northerns. The bait shop sells them unpackaged (3 for $10.00) single hook and one blade. All summer I've used my 8ft. St.Croix and Toro winch set-up and every Musky lure known to man...... and nothing........... go figure. Reminds me of Bow season Deer/Grouse. If you carry your shot gun and grouse hunt you'll see lots of deer. If you carry your bow you'll see lots of grouse. I whip that Joe Bucher bucktail all over our lake and catch bass ........... go figure !!!! Seems like this year the fish behave a little different than normal. The lake structure and weedlines have changed a little too. Maybe the ultra warm water temps have something to with that. Regards, Larry F.
