Bait Burning

[Red Childress]

Have any of you ever tried fishing fast all day long for muskies?? When I say fast, I mean fast retrieval speed when casting. I am especially concerned in hearing about cranks and rubber fished "fast" not bucktails or spinnerbaits.

Good and bad results are appreciated.

I thought maybe you were starting a fire. I've got a bunch of crap from over the years that I'd gladly add for ceremonial burning. HA!

The fire will not happen until after the season is over.....all crappy baits go up in a puff of smoke! Let me know if that rod your are selling will be part of the burning session so I can pull it out before ignition!

A few years back, we would smoke bomber long As all day long. We caught more fish during the cast than on the eight-maybe the eights weren't all that great back then either.

That makes perfect sense.....I always use to move the Long-A's pretty quickly but usually put a slight pause in there every 5 or so cranks of the handle.

The Long-A's are such nice baits for the price. The main concern with them is over-doing it with a leader that is too thick. 80lb. Fluoro is the heaviest I will go when using them and still keep good action.
