Super newbie to Muskie fishing. Just getting setup. I've been doing lot of reading. Got a list of lures (about 60+) LOL $$$ What do you recommend as a "started" set of 6-10 lures?? Thanks Rick
I would say Get a Lure in each type Get: 1 Bucktail, 1 Jerk Bait, 1 Spinner Bait, 1 Top Water Prop Bait, 1 Double Bladed Bucktail, 1 Walk the dog bait, 1 Buzz Bait. then get them in a few diffrent colors, that will get you a start at least. others may have diffrent but its a start for you.

make sure all the tools are in your boat before you begin. the most important part of muskie fishing are the tools...the fish matters most. you will need a good pair of long pliers (11inches), hook cutters, hook sharpener, jaw spreader, good net and a "hook out" for dawgs and double #10 bucktails. As far as picking out 6-10 lures...you should give us a call at your best time(763-572-3782) and let us know where you plan to fish most of your time...then we can really steer you in the right direction as far as lures and colors. thanks rick!
Thanks for the info. Going to Lake Vermilion the 1st of June and then to Canada the 2nd week in Sept. Man am I getting the "bug". Never fished for Muskie before. Maybe hit one of the sothern MO lake before?? Thanks again guys... And yes I will give you a call Britt when the time gets closer. Thanks Rick
