Title: Cold Water Musky Baits
Post by: TWiles on December 10, 2010, 10:34:52 AM

When I'm not throwing flies in the next few months...I'll be throwing these:

HellHound Gliders 8"

Titan Tubes 10"

Can't wait to see some clear water 'skis coming after these baits.

It's going to be funny when a smallie latches onto one of those tubes.   And they will.  ;)

I hope you enjoy that 6wt I gave you.  I'm telling you, its has enough backbone to support those size 16's your fixing to throw. :D :D :D :D

I would also run a dropper off the back, egg, pt, midge, scud, etc.

you know the drill,

A buddy of mine has the Dalberg Craw, he said it needed more weight to get it to run correctly. He said it work great once modified.

Great looking baits.  Do you cast or troll over humps?  Are you looking for birds circling shad schools?

Mainly fishing rivers of Va, NC, and east and mid TN.  Casting to deep jagged rock lines in clear water with 10-20 ft holes, and bankside fallen timber.
