I don’t particularly like this advice ngl yes I do agree a bigger rod will help you but It definitely doesn’t mean you can’t catch a Muskie on a bass rod. You can toss a whopper plopper a frog a regular plopper paddle tails smaller stuff and still catch a Muskie granted you will catch pike pickerel and huge ass bass but that in a way will help you because the more fish are feeding in that area the more fish will be attracted to that area because of that to see what is going on.

Just because you CAN do something, doesn’t mean you should. Willingly going out targeting Muskie with underpowered gear is a recipe for disaster. These may be apex predators, but they’re also quite fragile. In warmer water especially, trying to fight one on bass gear will take so much energy out of the fish that it may not recover. A great way to tell if any Esox species is over-stressed is if the fins turn red. As anglers, we need to do our due diligence and make sure we’re adequately equipped to handle the species we’re after.

This video was for ppl looking to get into musky fishing aka buy musky gear, baits, etc. Of course you can catch anything on anything, but that’s. not what I’m talking about here.

[@citybassboy99]

Yup

Bass rods and light line works really good, if you know how to fish. I have seen massive musky pulled in on 15lb line and mh bass rod, Small jig and minnow. The only thing you have to do is bring it in slow and steady. It's the same as bringing in 20 lb sheephead on 8lb line on a ned rig. Just go slow and let it run when it wants. Another option is a line counting trolling rod with lead core, you can use it for walleye musky, lake trout, instead of buying a specialty rod that only works for musky.

@@Notname555 it’s usually an accident when you hook/catch musky on light line and bass gear. This video is meant for ppl looking to target Musky specifically. You might win 1 or 2 battles with a knife in a gunfight but you’ll never win the war like that. Gotta come prepared for battle 💪
