Title: Input on this Muskie Spinner
Post by: Pajns on May 10, 2012, 10:20 AM

Its not complete yet but would like input. It has a 2 1/2 ounce Body. A friend of mine makes these and ask me my input. I figured I would get some good input from members here and pass it on to him. Thanks.

That is one crazy looking spinerbait. Its going to have a lot and I mean a lot of drag though. Three Indiana blades will do a number on your arm. It looks fantastic though and I would definitely give it a try.

I like the design, but make sure he makes a few with willow leafs.  My buddies that fish muskies on the north side of the great lakes swear by willow leaf blades.   They much prefer them over thumper blades like indiana and colorado blades.

Thanks for the input. I passed it along and He does agree that Willow blades might be the ticket.

I am not a musky fisherman, but I feel if your buddy added a larger swim bait, like the Berkley hollow belly swim bait, the ripple shad, flat back shad or large Yum money minnow would add a bit extra thump and flash just behind your jigs skirt which I feel would be beneficial.

I know that would work for pike, and both fish species respond well to alot of vibration and flash from lures.

Received 2 more pics from him. I guess he listened to the input I sent him.
