You're set up perfect for them. One thing I might Add .Unless you're musky fishing in a lake or area that is loaded with them, go for pike instead. Way way easier to catch , theyll hit most snything.. they get almost as big. Almost. You'll cast your arm off for musky. Better fish to chase out there imho

@OldLadyAngler 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Yes.... I also fish for Pike when I'm in Maine. The Musky is just one of those bucket list fish. I'll get one eventually, but I'll keep after the Pike too! They're a lot of fun! Thanks for watching.

@SethVenableFishing Год назад

Looking forward to seeing a musky on the other end of that new set up! That’s awesome!

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

Me too, Seth. I'll even settle for a new PB Northern Pike!

@macjig5148 Год назад

When I was a kid fishing in the St. Lawrence (Thousand Islands) back in the 60s my dad and I fished for pike ALL DAY LONG, LITERALLY. The lure of preference for me? The spoon. Striped, polka dot, solid in all color varieties caught big monster pike. I don't think much has changed in 50, 60 years. I believe they will still get hit!

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

I have picked up a few spoons for the trip. I have silver, gold, and also yellow/red dots white / red (those are daredvls). I am super excited to get the opportunity to target the big toothy fish! Thank you so much for the input!

@macjig5148 Год назад

@@OldLadyAngler it's a shame that Pike and muskie have fallen off the radar. They were the catch of choice back in the 60s. No more! Now they're more of a nuisance than a celebration to today's anglers. Change is the one certainty in life. Even with fishing .

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

@@macjig5148 yeah, That's really crazy. I am so addicted to catching pike that it's ridiculous. And I'm super excited to get a chance at my first Muskie when I go up north. Been doing lots of research and I have a good feeling that I'm gonna land one.

@1Cast1Fish Год назад

I use a Tranx for big swimbaits, A-Rigs, and Musky Baits....that reel really is a beast when it comes to big baits or needing some real cranking power. You got a winner IMO with that reel.

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

That's good to hear! Thanks for the input!

@1539Mickey Год назад

Hi T. Your Musky rig should certainly do the job. It looks like is casts great. When you catch a big Pike or Musky you'll need that 65 lb braid. Good luck with it. Take care, Mickey

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

Thanks Mickey. It will definitely be a lot different than fishing with typical Bass tackle!

@1539Mickey Год назад

Hi T. You'll be moving from the 5 lb class to the 20 lb class. Your new gear should handle to big fish. Good luck in Maine, Mickey

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

@@1539Mickey thank you

@kenmccarthyfishing Год назад

Yes be careful not to lose that side plate,I’ve only lost one,not on the Tranx it was a Curado and I contacted Shimano and they sent me another for free❤️and I throw 65lb all the time with a leader and in my opinion the heavy braid you get 80-90% less backlashes that’s why ALL of my rods are braid to leader and one other thing Tracy the 190 Whooper Plooper the Smallmouth of all sizes are going to smash that , I promise you when they see it they want to kill it even 1 lb Bass they don’t care,sorry for the long story 🤣😂❤️

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

I have seen several videos where the angler lost that Tranx side plate. I've never lost one but don't want to jinx myself. I have no doubt the Smallies will hit that 190.

@robertringier1232 Год назад

Looks like the lake has recently been sprayed from the brown shoreline vegetation. Surprised that you sis as well as you did. Wish that I were up to a Maine trip. Good luck with the new equipment.

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

Hey Bob! Yeah they sprayed the lake. I noticed it when I was last there last month. (got skunked that day). The poison must have dissipated enough by now. I'm looking forward to Maine and some Musky fishing. Or at least big pike fishing. Are you recovering from surgery?

@michaelwilliams9416 Год назад

Hi, Tracy!! Glad to see you back at it. I noticed you have been catching bowfin lately. Is there a certain time e of year that they bite more often than usual? Is there a bait that they prefer more than others?

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

Maybe the bowfin bite is more determined by which lake I'm fishing. This lake has a lot of them. They'll eat whatever you put in front of them.

@bucktalesoutdoors7566 Год назад

Whopper Plopped 190 ?! Wow thought the 130 was the biggest. I think that outfit will be fine for big Pike and Musky.

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

I've had that 190 for a long long time. Long before I decided to target Musky. I actually have caught 1 Bass on it and it was a dink believe it or not.

@robertringier1232 Год назад

I was taught that when casting heavy iron in salt water, turn the reel upside down when finishing the cast. That way the looping line tends to fall away from the spinning spool. It really helps when you're throwing 10 oz lures and they can set some really tight and mean backlashes, Some of the best advice I've gotten.

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

That makes perfect sense. I won't be throwing anything bigger than my whopper plopper 190. I can't imagine throwing a 10 oz lure!!!

@joannericci5981 Год назад

SWEET! I missed the unboxing video yesterday was gone all day so I had no idea about the new giant reel! Going to watch it now. Casts a country mile and looks smooth as butter doing so! Have you ever caught a musky before? Pretty sure I have watched all your videos and don't remember one.

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

Can't wait to use it on the toothy critters. I've only fished for Musky one time and that was last year in Maine, up near the Canadian border. Zero hits but call smallmouth.

@MaeMae11 Месяц назад

great setup for snook in florida if u get a chance

@OldLadyAngler Месяц назад

I target them occasionally but use my spinning gear.

@MajTom128 Год назад

If you hook into a 50 inch muskie you'll appreciate that door knob crank handle. Anxious to see your muskie fishing videos.

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

Yes sir, I'm certain of that!! I would be ecstatic if I can even get a follow. I'm pretty excited to give it another go. I've done more research this time and I'm better prepared to target them. Stay tuned!

@dd214fishing Год назад

Man that would wear me out all day if I threw that all day for Muskie. I am a Penn guy and I use my 400 Fathom for jigging Snapper, and Bull Reds. Tight lines love your shows “Old School for life”

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

Thanks so much! I agree. If I had to throw a 3+ oz lure all day, I would be hurting. I figure I can throw between 1/2 oz up to 3 oz and switch around frequently. I have Penn gear that I bought when I first started fishing... used it in the saltwater.

Hey Ola 🙂👍

Yo Dave! 👍

@slyfox720 Год назад

Those muskies are tough. Just out of curiosity.. I know fishing gear is like cars.. people like one brand over the other. Just curious if u have ever tried other reel brands. I tried Shimsno and never Hines liked shimano.. I use Daiwa reels and just got one from direct from Japan! When are u off to Maine?

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

I have owned a few other reels.... Garcia, Penn, Johnny Morris. I've had great experience with Shimano. Have never owned a Daiwa reel but have a Zillion rod that I really like. Lots of the PRO anglers use Daiwa. I leave FL at the end of August but I have a few weeks before I arrive in Maine. So, mid September.
