From Craig Sandell

I have been fishing for Musky for over 20 years. Like you, I am continually on the hunt for information and products that will help me be a more productive angler.

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to pick up tips on making lures more attractive to our Musky friend and tips on making lures more effective.

I have put together a few tackle items that have proven to be very effective lure enhancements and tackle enhancements.

Wood Surface Lure Spreader Kit

This spreader kit is meant to be used with wooden surface lures.

It uses a standard hook hanger and spreader bar combination and comes with two split rings, two 3/0 treble hooks and couple of ¾ inch #2 brass wood screws.

Each package also has an instruction kit to help you install the spreader kit onto your wooden surface lure.

NOTE: Spreaders may cause jointed body lures like the Hawg Wobbler to NOT function properly.

The price for the Spreader Kit is only $6.50

Twister Dressed Treble Hooks

Adding some flash to your lures has become very popular. Many single hook spinners come with twister tails but treble hooks have always presented a problem.

I have put together this 3 pack of 4/0 long shank VMC treble hooks, each dressed with a different color 6 inch twister tail (White, Chartreuse and Orange), trimmed at the head to fit the hook shaft. A split ring is also included.

You can use them on bucktails, or surface lures to make them more interesting to our Musky friend.

NOTE: Jointed and slow moving surface baits may not function properly with a dressed treble added.

The cost for the 3 pack is only $6.00

Solid Wire Steel Leaders

Muskies have teeth, as well as very sharp gill plates, and for those reasons, it is important to use some kind of leader when you fish for our Muskie friend.

I am partial to the use of solid wire stainless steel leaders. I have used them for years and I have never been disappointed with their performance.

Some years ago, I became frustrated with the unavailability of leaders in the sizes and configurations that I felt best complimented the lures that I was casting. I did a little research and acquired a leader making tool and began to make my own.

I have put together 3 different  leader packages of 3 hand made leaders each.

The leaders are designed to compliment different lure types. Each leader uses .029 gauge 174 pound test brown stainless steel solid wire and a Duo-loc clasp. The Duo-loc clasp is used for its ease of use with surface lures, like Hawg Wobblers and for its reliability.


7 Inch Leader Package

The 7 inch leader package is designed to compliment surface lures. The shorter length allows the surface lure to develop good retrieve action. Two of the leaders in the package are without swivels. The reason for this is related to the fact that surface lures should not be twisting in circles as they are retrieved. One of the leaders is equipped with a ball bearing swivelit has been my experience that some lures, like creepers, tend to roll during the cast before they hit the water. This twisting is transferred to your line and can, over time, cause backlashes.

The price of the 7 inch leader package is only $6.00.

Quantity:
 

9 Inch Leader Package

The 9 inch leader package is designed to compliment bucktails and down sized crank or twitch baits. This package of 3 leaders has ball bearing swivels on two of the leaders. The reason for this is related to the fact that most bucktails will twist as they are retrieved. This twisting is transferred to your line and can, over time, cause backlashes. Crank or twitch baits should not twist during the retrieve and therefore do not need a swivel on the leader.

The price of the 9 inch leader package is only $7.00.

Quantity:
 

11 Inch Leader Package

The 11 inch leader package is designed for use with jerk and larger crank or twitch baits. These leaders do not have swivels. The reason for this is related to the fact that swivels will tend to diminish the direct transfer of power from the line to the lure during the retrieve. These leaders will work very well with Jumping Jackpots, Mantas, Reef Hawgs and most other twitch/Jerk/glide baits.

The price of the 11 inch leader package is only $6.50. (Includes Shipping)
