If I was very serious about getting into Tigers I'd ask around, research & read to find lakes with very healthy populations of em' & pick them apart.
Size of Lure is often best determined by fish mood often related to Water Temp & Air Pressure. There isn't gonna be one magic lure that works on any given day; there is too many variables; like with any fish...

Reaserch.... I have... I have two lakes and a river system at my disposal....I would say the population is not great....but good.
Askin around FORGET it.......since I started askin questions on this site and a couple others........to date I've probably have
had a half a dozen replys........in the course of almost a year.Like you said its hard to find any material on them.......I dont have
(muskies) here I got PIKE and NORLUNGE......so my mindset isnt musky......I dont understand musky.......I havent pursued musky
I dont own anything musky......BUT I KNOW PIKE
All this time fishing for pike I've caught one Tiger........leading me to believe the dont inhabit the same areas as pike....and
or arent enticed by my pike offerings
I use stickbaits....spinnerbaits...and crankbaits......shallow to deep.......I have had follows from spinnerbaits thats it.
So so far I know they are attracted to flash......I've located these fish in the river in the deepest holes of the river or near...
during Spring thru mid Summer.....the closer it gets to Summer the more boat traffic......less prime time to fish.
So (help out here "mud n fun")......should I start researching and brushing up on musky tactics.....is this what everybody thinks
(change of mindset)?
Also I realize that the MAGIC lure may not exist.....but I'm still going to ask Santa for one this year
As I mentioned previously in my post.......I've purchased some bucktails #5's there not huge....but bigger than I have
been throwing......got a 7'-6" flipping stick .......a good quality reel w/ braid and I'm going to beat the water to a froth
this year and see what happens.
Any insight to help me along would truly be appreciated.......ANYTHING
