New for 2009 Musky Armor introduces The KRISCO to its growing line of high quality fishing lures!

The Krisco is an extremely durable shallow diving crank-bait that is very versatile. The Krisco can be used as a trolling bait, casting bait, surface bait, or twitch bait. The jointed Cisco shape gives the Krisco a unique flashy serpentine action that drives big game fish crazy. Built with a high buoyancy body, the Krisco really backs out of cover making it a top choice for casting shallow rocks, weeds, timber and flats.

The Krisco comes with inner chamber rattles that create the perfect amount of sound to attract trophy fish. The big profile, loud rattle, and knocking jointed action will prove to be a night fishing favorite, Trolling is what separates the Krisco from all other crank baits. The shallow running depth of the Krisco assures that you will be fishing above the fish “in the strike zone”. Whether you're fishing spring timber, summer speed trolling, shallow rocks at night, or running slow in the fall, the Krisco Delivers.

The Krisco is 9.5'' long, weighs 2.4 oz , and has three 5/0 hooks. 0'-4' casting and will troll up to 8'. Krisco's are available in 10 proven colors at you’re favorite retailer. 9 Custom “Guide Select” colors, are available only at the 2009 Musky Shows and at www.muskyarmor.com
