ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.
Northern pike, pickerel, and muskellunge (aka muskie or musky) are the most common North American members of the toothy, slender esox genus of freshwater fish. Northern pike and muskie in particular are highly sought after in much of the Northern Midwest and chased by highly-dedicated anglers using somewhat specialized tackle (for trophy fish at least).
At Discount Tackle, we stock pike- and muskie-specific baits and lures like big, oversized swimbaits, large inline spinners, and magnum topwaters, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits, as well as bass fishing tackle that pulls double duty as baits for these vicious freshwater predators. Choose from top pike and muskie fishing tackle brands like Westin, Savage Gear, Blue Fox, Rapala, River2Sea, SPRO, and more.
I have had great results with the joy stick. It works well on a drop shot or a shakey head, and can wackey rigged as well. I think the rabbit ears add to the presentation and the donkey sauce scent draws them in. The only negative is the durability, they only last 2 or 3 bites before tearing.
These have replaced the Streakz for me as my favorite Topwater Bait. Subtle twitch and walk the dog when fished with a 4/0 EWG hook. It skip casts well and I can put it where most never fish. Sometimes I even yank them out from back there. 30 pound straight Braid gives you a chance. Of course, great on a Chatterbait, like it was made for them😎
good baits, l catch seven fish in two days on one bait
