Musky Pike
Giant Northern Pike Fishing
Over a year ago a friend of mine told me of a new Muskie lure that I just had to get. The lure was a Squirko from Lungen lures. It looked to me like other jerk baits, but I decided to give it a try.
On the first try on a Muskie lake in central Minnesota,I have to admit it didn't see much water time. Later in the season I went on a fly in fishing trip in Manitoba. We tried the traditional spinner baits, silver minnows and Daredevils with success, but no trophies. We decided that the bigger northerns were deep. Most of what we had been throwing was not getting seen by the big ones.
So I decided to switch gears and take out the Squirko. The lure is a jerk bait about ten inches long with a long twister tail on the end. It sinks about a half a foot a second. I decided to work it off some deep weedlines and let it sink. It didn't take long after a few casts to hit "payday". That afternoon I boated 6 Manitoba master angler northerns 41" plus, with the largest being 44". There were also numerous fish caught between 36 and 40". My boat partner during this time was throwing "everything in his tackle box" to get down into the zone. He did get one 42"northern but it was clear that the Squiko was a major difference. The combination of being in the fish zone plus appealing to the fishes instincts when the Squirko was jerked was the key.
This was three years ago. Last spring we had a party of six to the same lake , the second week of May. Of the 15 master angler northerns, twelve came from my boat using the Squirko. And yes my boat partner had a Squirko so I didn't feel like I had to sleep with the lure to keep it "safe".
If you ever have a chance to fish trophy waters for Northern Pike or Musky, try one. I am now a true believer.

Fishing reel help so many reels? which ones should i take ?
Which one and why? Choices are... Shimano IX4000R, IX2000R Quantum snapshot 2, Shakespeare Outcast 430, Dimension, Alpha, Excursion, Catera 35, Okuma Avenger, Abu Garcia Cardinal 104, Pflueger President, Templar, Trios, and finally the Mitchell Avocet II. I'm leaning towards the Abu Garcia Cardinal 104 for my bass rod (ugly stick) but will any of these work for musky pike etc. It will be going on a big ole ugly stick. Thanks for the help and yeah I am on a budget that's why the selection is limited feel free to suggest a reel as well keep it under $60. Thanks again
cant go wrong with a shimano. Smooth reel thats durable, definitely worth the price. id consider looking at more shimano reels. consider the shimano fx 2500 reel too. a little bit cheaper reel but ive had mine for several years and it works great. the lower priced reels will probly not last as long as the higher end reels though.
