  13. Recommendations on a Musky setup: Left hand baitcaster & 2 Piece rod?

    in General Discussion

    Where did you score that? Good deal. Looking for a Curado 301E myself. Best price I've come across so far without too much digging is $279 including tax.

     

    From a local seller. He sold it to me for $210. The cheapest I've seen used was $250 on kijiji

     

    I love the Curado 300 I also use a Calcutta 400 and a Lexa 300 but the Curado is my favourite. That being said I don't generally throw huge baits

     

    Whats the biggest lure you throw with your 300 and how many ounces is it?

     

    I might have made a mistake about the lure identification they may be the Vibrax #6 but still in the same colour pattern very similar to the old single hook Mepps musky killer with just 1 treble hook I'm not a fan of the newer ones with the double hooks.

    The double trebles looks like a mess waiting to happen

     

    I think the one I use is actually called the Blue Fox musky buck in the black and silver pattern. You can check them out here http://www.basspro.com/Blue-Fox-Vibrax-Musky-Buck-Lure/product/7571/

    I really like the silver black model but have tried some of the other colours but not with anywhere near the same rate of success

    Thanks, I'll check it out.

    Yup, I'm looking for a good deal on a St.Croix 8'6-9' rod so I can do figure 8s on the boat.

     

    I run a very similar set up the Shimano 201e bantam matched up to a 6'6 St.Croix 2pc med. heavy rod and I have caught countless muskies on it love the set up. Most of my muskies are on the smaller side as the lake I fish Lower Buckhorn in the Kawartha's doesn't have really huge muskies in it although I have heard of a few in the 50" + range being caught and I am pretty sure I have had 48" long fish on but have lost them or even bigger from some I never saw just felt big and broke me off. Personal best is around 42" if I recall I cast and troll a lot favorite lure is a blue fox #5 bucktail black with a bit of red and big silver blade can cast that or troll it all day with my setup. I use some other lures but some like the small bulldawgs are a bit much for the rod to handle. Good luck!!

    Have you ever tried throwing Vibrax #6? I purchased a few at a good price. Copper Vibrax #6 and I was thinking of adding bucktails to the trebles.
