MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2023 For the last 5-6 years I’ve been building musky lures in the winter and donating them to two youth programs in the state. The big ones have two 6/0 trebles and two blades. Each lure has a 10 and a 9. The smaller lures have one 4/0 treble hook and a 8 and 7 blades. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted February 1 This year I built 20 of each of the lures. They have a 6/0 treble hook in the rear and an eight Colorado and a 9 Indiana blade. There is a one ounce weight, so they will cast like a bullet. 30 go to the MN HS Musky championship and the other 30 go to our Chapter’s tournament. I got a couple of grants to cover the materials.

niveker 0 Report post Posted February 1 Very nice Tom. Its been so long for anything but flies for me, what would something like this retail for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted February 1 Me too. I build my own. I guess plus or minus $20. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
