clearence sale muskie lures

[traveler]

I'm just getting into muskies and need to build up a good variety of muskie lures. But...I'm cheap I mean poor. I shop clearece sales all over, on the net and otherwise. Anyone know of any on-line muskie sites that have a clearence section? Year end closeouts? And while we're at it, how about a beginners list, if you had to start with just a dozen baits or so, what might they be? Think type, size, color. Thanks guys, so far just one muskie pic in the album, and my son got that one up on LOTW this summer.

my dozen baits would be:

Bucktails(hair/blade)= blk/slv, blk/orn, why/slv, wht/orn, lime/char, brn/cop

lumber= blk reef hawg(8 inch) , perch shallow raider(6 inch), blk/wht poe's, clown 8 inch jake, blk top raider, perch phontom

the fish are going nuts on a lot of lakes. keep on chuckin and your time will come.

Happy Hunting

Keep an eye on hsolist i have seen complete muskie setups sell there.
the good thing is price
the bad thing is you dont get to choose what lures you want.

Just as important are good quality release tools.

Needle nose pliers
Bolt Cutters; such as a knippex. To cut hooks, both out of the fish, and you. First aid kit after de-hooking yourself.

Thanks for the lists/tips guys. Downto earth, I don't know where I'll be fishing primarily, some LOTW, some ST Louis R., where ever I end up I guess. So for now a generic starter batch of lures will have to do.

Traveler,

Before you ask what size, color, and type of baits you need to buy, first you need to ask yourself what lakes are you going to concentrate the majority of you time on. Once you answer that then you can ask specific lure questions such as what kind, colors, size, etc in regards to the lakes you plan on fishing. That way you don't spend a lot of money on lures you really won't use all that much. They may produce on someone else's favorite lake, but not on yours. I wish I would have taken this approach when I first started a couple years ago. I bought more at random than with a specific purpose.

Traveler,

If your interested we are having a Muskies Inc meeting at Gander Mountain on 11/11 at 7pm across from Miller Mall and you are more than welcome to join us.

If we talk baits we'll probably talk your ear off!
