Muskie Fishing for Beginners - Part 2 of ?? - Bucktails

This is part 2 of a multi part instructional series for beginner muskie fisherman. This video covers different sizes and styles of bucktails and triggering techniques to get muskies to strike. I also talk about a cool new bucktail that I think will be a game changer for the 2017 season.

[@WesternPaAnglers]

ur helping me learn more so thank u sir ...very good stage presentation...keep up the good work my friend

[@GettingCrushedTV]

Glad I'm able to help!

[@fabiopressao-PE]

Ooooow! Oh nice bro, good spinner's lures!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎣

[@DrFrankensteam]

Would these work well for Pike?

[@GettingCrushedTV]

Yep!

[@TradIrishHarper]

Is it my imagination or are some bucktails more difficult to engage the blades and keep them engaged? I am having a heck of a time keeping smooth bladed bucktails vs their dimpled bladed bucktails going from one manufacturer in particular. They are a nice bucktail but I can’t seem to keep get the smooth ones to consistently engage and keep going.

[@GettingCrushedTV]

Sometimes you have to tweak the clevises to get them to run smooth.

[@tiffanyrabbitt4098]

I am a newbie to the Musky game so please forgive the dumb question. Do you figure 8 every cast or just when you see something trailing your lure in.

[@GettingCrushedTV]

+Tiffany Rabbitt only dumb question is one that isn't asked! You should figure 8 after every cast because Muskies can and often do come out of nowhere and strike. This is especially true for darker water.

[@jerichoo666]

Nice video bro. Im from the Netherlands, and make my own bucktails for pike. i just love these things. do you buy them or diy?

[@GettingCrushedTV]

I don’t have the patience to build them personally. I just pick up a few favorites from time to time or friends/sponsors make them for me.

[@RumlipS1990]

good video.. i just got some apache triple blades because they are easier for me to pull/throw and dont tire me out like double tens do (using triple 8's) would you say the kramer new blade bait is easier to retrieve? i have a bad back/shoulders from a car crash..

[@GettingCrushedTV]

CrappieDev I only have the smaller Kramer right now the size 7. It pulls great! Very smooth. Even bulging it (without a power handle) it was very easy to pull. I'm sure the larger ones are just as easy. I think you will enjoy throwing them even with back & shoulder issues.

[@RumlipS1990]

Caiden The Muskie Kid Ramsell thanks for the feedback.. subscribed.. will probably grab a few this summer!

[@GettingCrushedTV]

CrappieDev you are welcome thanks for subscribing I appreciate it!

[@CountryMaster16]

im wondering whats a good baitcaster to go musky and pike fishing with?=

[@GettingCrushedTV]

+toby baconator personally I prefer shimano calcuttas. There are lots of good options on the market

[@lincolnjohnson5129]

How heavy is the bucktail you use at 7:14?

[@GettingCrushedTV]

No clue. If memory serves it is a Kramer bros #7 revolution. Their website may have the weight listed.

[@danielfetchak1865]

Is it proven that Musky's can see colors or just shades Caiden?

[@GettingCrushedTV]

+Daniel Fetchak there is a lot of debate that they can see colors and others say contrast. All of the studies I have read show that they can indeed see color but the contrast plays a larger part.

[@ticesine6589]

Nice vid boss ! Do you have any advice ? Im trying to figure.out what reel to use for double 9s and 10s , the lowest ratio i have is my abu c3 6500 , and people have been saying that wont work ? The only other resl i have at the moment is a diawa 300hsl , im really not too sure what to do here lol

[@GettingCrushedTV]

lower gear for bigger blades. Just like pulling a trailer, you want torque, not speed.

[@danielfetchak1865]

is 65 pound power pro braid to light for musky im a new musky fisherman and I'm just starting to buy the equipment I need.

[@GettingCrushedTV]

+Daniel Fetchak I know a lot of guys that run 65 lbs. personally I run 80 lbs. I also don't use power pro. It bleeds and is in my opinion not a quality line. To each his own on that. I recommend Cortland Masterbraid.

[@danielfetchak1865]

Caiden The Muskie Kid Ramsell thank you so much for the advise I'm gonna order a few Kramer brothers revolution bucktails if I can I here supply and demand is very high.

[@GettingCrushedTV]

+Daniel Fetchak you're welcome!

[@GregK9]

What pound test on that leader?

[@GettingCrushedTV]

GregK9 150

[@justcause2775]

Is there a swivel on the end of your leader to help with the ease of changing out lures?

[@GettingCrushedTV]

+Rodney Anthony staylock snap.

[@justcause2775]

Thank you, really looking into musky fishing this season since I moved up here to NE Ohio. Kinda nervous to be honest. I don't want to harm the fish. Appreciate your teaching of this species.

[@GettingCrushedTV]

+Rodney Anthony just use your best judgement. Sounds like you are on the right track with your mindset! Have a great season!

[@BoboAthanassion]

You said your using 80lb. braid. What lb. is the flurocarbon?

[@GettingCrushedTV]

150

[@BoboAthanassion]

How did you determine what lb. level fluro you needed to use. Why not 100 lb. or 60 lb.

[@Adam-lv4zz]

You don't said anything about that lead weight on your line

[@GettingCrushedTV]

What lead weight?

[@Adam-lv4zz]

Getting Crushed TV what is that stuff between your leader and line, looking like big split shot

[@GettingCrushedTV]

No. My leaders have loop protectors on the ends. No weights. www.huskiemuskie.ca

[@readallen]

Serpentine

[@GettingCrushedTV]

+readallen huh?

[@tphvictims5101]

they catch the wind on the cast and rev. decreasing casting distance.

[@GettingCrushedTV]

+TPHVICTIMS ??

[@coreystone32]

What brand rod is that?

[@GettingCrushedTV]

The blue one?

[@frankgenner782]

Yes what combo are you using

[@GettingCrushedTV]

I don’t use that set up anymore...currently my go to rod is a 9’-6” heavy action KT Professional Edge Custom Rod paired with a tranx 500 HG

[@frankgenner782]

Getting Crushed TV do you think you can do a video on catching Muskie during ice fishing season. Maybe something along the lines of migration patterns and the like

[@GettingCrushedTV]

Very doubtful
