[@cliffelwood4992]

A few years ago I followed your carving technique for scale detail. the lures turned out awesome. the fish in my profile was caught on my very first outing with my new lure. And I have had many since. Love your videos. I am surprised you didn't carve the scales in. It is an awesome technique and allows better painting options. thanks...

Didn't you move to alberta? We don't have musky here, lots of pike though but most lakes the pike you catch are the size of that lure lol.

[@SolarfallBaits]

well there is nothing stopping me from making muskie lures even if i lived in the jungles of Bolivia. :)

[@kdpuffer1]

@@SolarfallBaits true enough, you get to do any fishing before lockdown 2.0 hit? You should make an ice fishing/jigging lure.

[@thatsmallrockshop]

There are 30 pound plus pike in the sask river and go the next province over to saskatchewan and you have monster 30 lb plus pike in tobin lake and the sask river. I make the same lures as miko just as big and just as fancy and fish them as often as i can. And catch lots of big fish on them in the saskatchewan river. Remember a fish will take a lure or a prey fish half its body length. I have caught small 8 pound pike on 7 and 8 " cedar lures as well as walleye on those same size 7 to 8" lures.

[@kdpuffer1]

@@thatsmallrockshop yes there are big fish out there but they are not nearly as common to catch as they were 20 years ago. Northern Saskatchewan diffinately has more big fish, alberta still has some but they are few and far between. I caught my first pike over 20lbs last summer, been fishing alberta waters for 25 years (mostly central, heavily preasured waters) More than likely your going to catch pike the size of the lure featured in this video lol.
