Coot

[Bucktailer]

Has anyone heard of a musky lure called the Coot? If so, do you know where I could get one??

[St_Croix_Banks]

Yes---I've seen them before. I met the guy that makes them one day on WBL. If someone else doesn't come up with his name I'll research further for you. Its a funky looking bait as I recall---kind of box-shaped I think?

They had a bunch at the TC banquet, interesting to say the least.

[Bucktailer]

Yup, that is where I've seen them too, on WBL. I thought it was a funky looking planer board at 1st. I would love to try one out if I could get my hands on one.

He comes to the TC Chapter meetings pretty regularly with baits to sell. The next meeting is April 10th.

the coot is tearing them up,,if you saw this thing you would think somebody is playing a joke on you,,at the TC chapter sat nite banquet two were up for silent auction and the bidding went all the way to the next page

I got to throw one, a buddy of mine brought it when we went up to Canada back in the fall.

It's funky, but looks great in the water.. you just have to think about it from the fish's eye view!

It's not the best lure to cast, very awkward, heavy, clunky, and really un-aerodynamic. Also we didn't get a single follow on it the four or five days we fished.

However it's got a proven record and is definitely a "big fish" lure. We didn't have any 30'' northerns go after it despite them going after our mag dawgs.

I sat next to him at the banquet, but can't remember his name. I think he said he would have coots to sell at the Expo. When I first saw them, I thought they were a gag lure, but he and his friend swear by them. He was a little vague on the price, $30-35.

Pat Mcalister is the man,,,you have a good chance of snagging a coot or arranging to get one at the TC chapter MI meeting-he regularly attends
