Swimbaits for Muskie
Swimbaits have also created quite a buzz among the muskie fishing community like they did to the bass fishing community over the past few years. Swimbaits are great baits for muskie and sometimes, presenting a more, natural looking bait, like a swimbait, is the only artificial lure that will get a muskie to actually commit to striking an artificial lure.
There are plenty of swimbaits on the market and the nice thing about some of the smaller ones is that you can also catch some nice walleye, pike and bass while you fish for muskie. Once you go to the bigger swimbaits, you’re looking at mostly just pike and muskie that will be eating your bait.
During late summer and fall, don’t be afraid to throw those real big swimbaits. They work well, although, they can be costly once a big muskie ruins your $50 lure. $50 for a 50 inch muskie??? I think most experienced muskie anglers would take that trade.
