Cbrooks gave very good suggestions.

Bucktail: You may want to go with a spinnerbait. A little more versatile if you only have one blade bait.

Jerkbait: Wade's Wobbler is a good choice. Don't have to tune them and they catch fish. It would also be more durable than the bulldawg.

Topwater. Can't argue at all with the Pacemaker.

I would suggest you go to Thorne's grand opening this weekend. There will be a bunch of people that can help you out and there should be some good deals as well.

I could be happy with:

chartruese dcg

walleye or white dawg

LOWrider

You might start with just 3 but you'll get more fast

[ole matty]

Rad dog

Suicks

pacemaker.

Color: all black

what size on them lures?

As a person new to Musky fishing this has been helpful as well. You can spend a lot of money fast in this sports and you might as well have useful lures.

I suppose the average musky lure will be 5 inches on the small size to 10 or even 12 inches on the big size. I don't think there's a musky lure too big. The biggest lure I use is 14 inch jake or one pound bulldawg. For starters I'll suggest your three lures to be different sizes, so you have a variety(small,medium,and large) to start with. I hope this answers your question.

When it came to bulldawgs I use the uptown. Is that the same as everyone else? I have also been trying to help another guy to decide what to get.

I use all style of dawgs and Super D's. Would be tough to pick just 3 baits but my 3 would be a 9" deep Wades Wobbler, DCG and a Hellhound.

After giving it some thoughts... Its IMPOSSIBLE to just go fishing with three lures... but those three are guaranteed to be found in my tackle box...

1. Pink/Pink Double Cowgirl... After that incident on Lake X last August, I will never be caught without at least 2 in my box ever again!!! In fact, I carry a Plano 3700 box full of Pink/Pink Double Cowgirls/Showgirls/Gerry's Girls/Kids...

2. Mag Bull/Pro Dawg or Mag SuperD... Those three certainly have their times on the water... You'd might want to throw in a 9" or 11" Curly Sues into the mix...

3. MOJO WEAGLE (I cant believe nobody mentioned this)!!! an excellent WTD bait that came through when others failed...
