Musky Plug

If I'm not mistaken the helix units come with a built in flasher.

C3 Was my first musky reel. Upgraded after one season though. Great starting combo and the price sounds good!

Someone posted this link in the Musky Trader Canada fb page. Some pics of the new Tranx models. Price is in American dollars. http://shop.chase-outdoors.com/catalog.php?category=109347

I've heard talk about Shimano coming out in 2017 with a left hand series tranx in 300 and 400 size? Has anyone heard this?

My brother picked one up yesterday from fishing world. Buddy at the store said it's meant to replace the symmetry series of reel.

x3 on the Symetre. Good bang for you buck!

Awesome, will do! thanks!

Yes, I have stuck a few nice smallies there but I have better luck in the river.

Congrats on the new place. Looking for same kinda info, gf's dad bought a place on MacLean. I haven't any luck with the guide searches for that area.

Rock Pines rents the penthouse cottage I'm pretty sure, however not sure about the sleds though..

This made my day! Classic lol!

Good choice in my opinion. Getting is most amount of screen size for your buck, can't go wrong with that.

Went yesterday, launched out of the belle river, was there for 7hrs not even a sniff. All the baitfish was concentrated in the muddy water around the mouth of the river. Heard of 2 fish being fought all day.

Awesome report! Awesome pics! Sounds like an awesome few months all around, well done sir!

Heading to Belle River tomorrow, will let you know how we do.

Hey dude, Sturgeon has some big skis. Caught my PB there. Welcome to the community!

Have a few, for bass a 4" yum dinger T - rigged black with silver tip. (Unfortunately can't find anymore) Jackall DD squirrel has caught me more fish then I can shake a stick at, including my gfs 2 skis in one day. For trolling musky would be a tie between BWB's, Headlocks and Staklers. Casting skis would be bulldawgs.

I was wondering the same thing. I was planning on going to the Belle River as well but on Saturday, the winds on sat as of now are 20km sw Might re-think my game plan.

You should use a quick strike rig. You should be able to get them at your local store, it's specifically made for live/dead bait rigging.

Go with the 60 size. You will be happy you did. I bought the lexa 300 thinking it was enough but returned it after one trip for the 400. The Nacl 60 would be a good buy, if you're buying it second hand, make sure to do a thorough inspection of internals of the reel before purchase.

If you're willing to dish out the money, I would say tranx hands down. Its an awesome reel, and it can do it all but comes with a higher price tag and only in RH retrieve. I have a lexa 400 now and after a few season of throwing baits its starting to go. Might get one more good season out of it. My brother has the Calcutta 400 and loves it, uses it for everything. I've heard good things about the Revo Toro S 61 and the Revo Toro Beast. I think it all depends on how much money you're willing to spend.

Sweet video. The success and heartbreak of musky fishing, got to love it! Great stuff!

X2 on the Berkeley gripper. Worked fine for me too. Also I sometimes use it to hold the fish's head up ( while it's in the basket ) while I unhook it. I've seen other people get hooks in their hands and it isn't pretty.

If you're looking at georgian bay, try looking up Jamie Fitz who runs Weather Oar Knot guide service however he is located in the Baril area of GB. If if you're willing to goto nip you could try Slobland flicks, haven't been out with them but they're vids/pics look promising. If you want to have a day with the possibility of multiple skis then goto LSC. Try Fishlsc charters. I have a day booked in November with him.

Great stuff! Both are great fish, that tiger looks deadly!
