| Over a year ago a friend of mine told me
| |
| | Manitoba master angler northerns
|
| of a new Muskie lure that I just had to
| |
| | 41″ plus, with the largest being
|
| get. The lure was a Squirko from Lungen
| |
| | 44″. There were also numerous fish
|
| lures. It looked to me like other jerk
| |
| | caught between 36 and 40″. My boat
|
| baits, but I decided to give it a try.
| |
| | partner during this time was throwing
|
|
| |
| | "everything in his tackle box" to get
|
| On the first try on a Muskie lake in
| |
| | down into the zone. He did get one
|
| central Minnesota, I have to admit it
| |
| | 42″ northern but it was clear that
|
| didn't see much water time. Later in the
| |
| | the Squiko was a major difference. The
|
| season I went on a fly in fishing trip in
| |
| | combination of being in the fish zone
|
| Manitoba. We tried the traditional
| |
| | plus appealing to the fishes instincts
|
| spinner baits, silver minnows and
| |
| | when the Squirko was jerked was the key.
|
| Daredevils with success, but no trophies.
| |
| | This was three years ago. Last spring we

| We decided that the bigger northerns were

| | had a party of six to the same lake , the
|
| deep. Most of what we had been throwing
| |
| | second week of May. Of the 15 master
|
| was not getting seen by the big ones.
| |
| | angler northerns, twelve came from my
|
| So I decided to switch gears and take out
| |
| | boat using the Squirko. And yes my boat
|
| the Squirko. The lure is a jerk bait
| |
| | partner had a Squirko so I didn't feel
|
| about ten inches long with a long twister
| |
| | like I had to sleep with the lure to keep
|
| tail on the end. It sinks about a half a

|
| foot a second. I decided to work it off
| |
| | If you ever have a chance to fish trophy
|
| some deep weedlines and let it sink. It

| | waters for Northern Pike or Musky, try
|
| didn't take long after a few casts to hit
| |
| | one. I am now a true believer.
