"Muskies for Everyone"

I was watching this show the other day and I saw a cool looking soft plastic that caught my eye(hopefully it catches the fish's eye also smile.gif). It was mostly a dark gray/black color with orange stripes and they showed it swimming underwater, though it had no lip. I would guess it's about 8-12 inches long and shaped like a perch or a small bass. I would like to know who makes this lure and where I could pick it up if anyone knows. I tried doing a search and came up with nothing.

Tony,

I saw the show and it was a shallow invader made by the same company that makes the bulldawg (Musky Innovations me thinks). Very cool bait though I personally haven't caught one on it yet but have had several follows.

Sounds like you guys were watching Northwoods Adventures, sweet show, 9 times out of 10 they are fishing Muskies good footage too... I think Musky Innovations sponsers them heavily along with Fig Rig rods and North Country Boats. I have been wanting to pick up a shallow invader, think i might have to here before the season kicks in.

Hey Hugo, how goes it?

Hugo,

Glad to hear your taper came through, now get that finished, I heard there are some crappies eagerly awaiting your line. Junior is good, growing like a weed, I think he will tower his old man, not tough to do though...

The lure I saw was all soft plastic/rubber. The invaders I've seen are half solid with rubber tail sections. Does Muskie Innovations make solid rubber ones too? Thanks for all the replies!

You were probably looking at a Castaic Swim Bait or something similar. Bunch of companies out there now making this type of bait. Started out in California for BIG bass fishermen, but they realized there is a market for these baits among musky fishermen also.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
