How to Simple Lure Modifications

Pete Maina breaks down some lure modifications he likes to do when the winter time blues are upon us.

[@scottstuckey715]

Thanks Mr. Maina. You Musky guys break the walls down so bass guys like me can hone in on your imagination. You always put me in a great mood. All the best.

Thanks Pete awesome tips! Are the lures on the wall behind you retired or just waiting in the bullpen to be called on again to catch a Muskie?

[@Unclefacts]

that wall of sticks is everything

Hey Pete what do you think about a big swimbait with a spinnerbait arm attached

HOT TIPS" THANKS PETE! Q?- When are YOU GOING TO KILL "WINTER" ? Cheers from "TIGERS ONLY" Idaho! jd

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Why remove a treble hook to add a spinner blade? Take a short length of solid leader wire and put a loop in each end. Attach a snap-swivel and spinner to one of the wire loops and the other end to the split ring of the hook hanger. Use some shrink tube to hold the wire tight to the hook shank.

[@petemaina7073]

Great thought/idea/modification... I would only offer that rear hook generally not needed at all (usually just flops and does damage in net) cuz fish naturally head hunt the bait and especially with a spinner back there

Pete, you won't remember me, but we've met a couple of times when you've come to Minnesota for the Twin Cities Muskie Inc meetings.

I'm allways taken back from all the great looking lures on the wall. Can you comment on them. And do you still use most of them on and off though out the season. keep the great videos coming. Thanks Pete

[@petemaina7073]

Many years of fishing and pondering. The majority on the wall don't get used these days, but I like to keep them and look ... and think in winter ... old baits and memories bring ideas and simple fact is old things become new after a while. If they worked before they will again

[@TrailRat700xc]

[@Darryl_2023]

Thanks Pete... the gears are turning now sir, can I ask ...what size blades are they roughly to order some online ? do they go by number like hooks do? I have a lure in mind, a orange/black mudpuppy similar with somewhat of the whale tale that I'd like to bring outa its drought.. I'm thinking gold colour more for the vibration side of things as water clearity here during our musky season is always dirty...I'm mostly offshore

[@petemaina7073]

Somewhat by lure size and experimentation. #3/4 size an average

[@madtownangler]

My one small plastic box of lures looks kinda wimpy now.

[@petemaina7073]

It would take many boxes to fit em in ;)
