    Anyone ever have this happen?

    Once again, the heavy lines are used mainly because of the stress that the large baits puts on the equipmentoin a consistant basis. Another reason is very simple. We want to minimize the fight time and risk of being snapped off and killing a musky, it is simply unacceptable since it can be...

    Anyone ever have this happen?

    They aren't breaking from the fight of the fish most of the time, if it does the reel was already damaged and the angler simply didn't know it. Musky for their size don't fight that great, especially compared to a salmon. Like I said in my previous statement "Even though they are larger reels...

    yes, the original Abu Garcia reels were a little better.

    Anyone ever have this happen?

    Nope, not kidding. If you want an Abu designed for musky fishing then buy a Revo Toro Winch, they are specifically designed for musky and Saltwater fishing. Heavier drag (22lbs) and quality components that can handle the abuse on a day to day basis. Talk to any reel repair guy and he will tell...

    Anyone ever have this happen?

    It happens to Abu's often because they are crap, it's a known issue with the 5500,6500 c3/ c4. Even though they are larger reels they are not really designed for the wear and tear musky fishing puts on them when using heavier lures.

    Lake St Clair Musky Action

    If you are targeting musky where a conservation limit is 0 then you require a sport fishing license.

    Taro is a good buddy of mine and one of the best multi species anglers around. I would highly recommend going with him. You'll learn more in a day or two fishing with him then you would in a year by yourself.

    Trolling rod holders

    Buy a Down East dual clamp Salty S-10, or a S-17 bolt on. Best rod holders for musky trolling period. I troll baits up to 21" long at 6mph and I have never had a problem. If I were you I would spend the $35-$50. The last thing you want with a 30lb musky on the end of a line is trying to get a...

    Gearing up for Muskie just a new rod and need help

    Hi Jsteelcity I'm a hardcore musky guy so I can help you out. Muskies are BIG fish, growing up to 60lbs with the average being 10-30lbs. First off, NEVER USE LIGHT TACKLE! YOU CAN KILL THE FISH! The longer the fight the more stress is put on them and they sometimes will not recover and...

    Tracker Pro 175 TXW

    Tracker is the worst boat on the planet. I've known someone who split the hull wide open on its first outing. If you have a death wish that is the boat for you. ALUMACRAFT, LUND, STARCRAFT are all better choices.
