The BoilerMaker Suspending Bucktail - Lee Lures Custom Baits - Todays Angler 

Wayne Sobotka awesome!!

I'm loving the boilermaker, 2nd time out with it and it lands a 37 inch Musky on the 4th cast ! Thank you Lee !

Jeremy Newhouse, thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for watchin!

Thank you guys! Was an awesome moment together. Wish it would have been one of you guys. Next time!

Burnin Eights, thanks guys.

serious question... how do you know there are 50 inchers if you haven't found them?

SlumpBuster Tackle uhh because I have seen other people pull out giants in nets while getting bait

The lake record on a lure is 49.5 inches but 2 trophies have been netted so I know there's more

Luke Wheeler, need to know about the lake:depth, forage, bottom make up. Usually more hard bottom and somewhat deeper in fall.

Lee and Robbie, thanks for the info I will try that! I live in Virginia, Lake is relatively shallow(deepest spots maybe 20-30ft at damned end) has a variety of habitats including hard bottom structure, manmade pallet houses, grassy flats etc. forage is typical(shad,yellow perch, bluegill, bass, walleye, maybe a trout here or there). There are main points, short ledges, mostly big grassy flats and coves that are silt bottom with some laydowns etc. Anything helps guys! I've been bass fishing all my life but never targeted musky till I saw your vids! Those fish are awesome definitely want to get one in the net!

Taylor Moradian, thanks. Afraid not. They are running out fast.

Ok...shoot us a message!

Yes

There isn't a universal, one size fits all, muskie leader. It depends upon what material the leader is made from and also to a degree what kind of lure it's going to be used with. I suggest that you Google, or RU-vid, search: solid wire muskie leaders, sevenstrand wire muskie leaders, and fluorocarbon muskie leaders. That will be the fastest way for you to get info on the different types of leaders, how they're made, what size to use, and what lure to use them with. It's an easy question to ask but much harder and more detailed to answer in a short comment here.

I would recommend a Stealth Tackle 130lb fluorocarbon leader for most instances, maybe 100lb for smaller baits. Or just a 100lb sevenstrand steel is fine too overall.

Yeah, but glide baits work better with a solid wire leader.

Pete Maina uploaded a video afew hours ago on this very subject. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m8kW-kJ5WZI.html

Just one size right now.

It looks like a shimano soljorn

Jayden Petersen Assault Sticks from Esox Assault

The new 9'6" Chaos Tackle S.W.A.T. Assault Stick.

Paul Coenen, putting a joint in the bait would ruin the thump and make it harder to cast.

fish strikers, not sure never tried? I bet you could use it like a jerkbait though.

Todays Angler ill try to mack one amd try it

MsPrincesspaulina I see what you mean about the skirt but I’d have to say I like it in front for the deeper belly/fat profile look. Either way it’s pretty sweet.

To each their own, I guess. You could still move the skirt back and just make the lure body with a bigger diameter, to give you that fat profile look, and compensate the internal body weight.

MsPrincesspaulina, the skirt doesn't flare out much because it's a single blade which doesn't create the vortex behind the blade like doubles.

That maybe be true. I don't use the double blade lures much. I know my single blade natural hair bucktails pulse more than this does. I'm not trying to start a argument nor am I knocking your new lure, Lee. It was just something I noticed and thought I'd make the suggestion. Try it with one lure and see if the skirt has more pulse and movement. Another thought I had was to put the blade behind the lure body or even have 2 blades, 1 in front of the body and another behind with the skirt in back.

Why don't you make the bait then Paulina

10" What?
