This is my first year throwing these baits. I am really diggin them so far. The Pike have been crushin these things with reckless abandon. Had one today that just about had the whole thing down its mouth. All I have to say is that I am VERY glad that I pinch the barbs on all of my hooks. A quick push with the pliers and the hooks popped right out and Mr. Pike was on his way. Didn't even have to cut any.

How are these baits for Musky? Seems too good to be true that this bait would kick butt for both Musky AND Pike. LOL
