If they are chasing stuff down than I would go with a topraider or some other prop style bait.
If they are laid up in the weeds than I would go with a walk the dog bait like the Poe's Jackpot or Stidham Z180.
I love nailing a big musky in skinney water on topwater, that and on a figure 8 is 2 of my favorite strikes in musky fishing.
Would you do me a favor and check out "Understanding Tigers" that I posted and give me a hand?
