One thing I've noticed about Squirkos and peoples reaction to them. They do not have the same kind of a wide glide action like the original Jerko or for that matter a Hellhound, Manta, etc. This does NOT mean they don't catch fish. It is a bit more subtle presentation than a super long glide but muskies haven't quite figured out that they're not supposed to eat them if they don't glide 4 feet to each side. We as fishermen sometimes forget that we are dealing with an animal that wants to eat and from time to time make little muskies. It's not about what we think they should eat. I've had this proven time and again that because a bait doesn't have a sexy looking color pattern or doesn't wiggle quite the way we think it should, the muskies don't care. If it appears to be good enough to eat then go with it. Let the fish tell you what they want, not the advertising hype. I love the cool colors and all that stuff just as much as the next guy but from time to time we really overthink this stuff. All said and done it's fantastic that we have so many possible choices and ways to try to fool these fish. I don't want to go back to the days of having a Daredevele, a Mepps, a Suick and calling it a done deal.
