Great tips dude! Excellent insight on some over looked aspects of musky fishing!
Awesome content thanks for sharing🎣
Outstanding content Ben. I enjoy and am continually educated and entertained by your work. Thanks!
Thank you, that means a lot to me!!
Stay safe , Fish on ! I always use a 12" leader .. I've had a beast roll and twist .. their power is incredible , deep inhaling of that lure brings those teeth closer to your tie
Good video. Good tips!
Good tips, Ben. Thanks!
25 years ago when I started Musky fishing there were no fluorocarbon leaders, only seven strand and single wire. Then fluorocarbon carbon came along and that’s all everyone used. Me personally, I use single strand 75% of the time and fluorocarbon the other 25%.
Good tips, Ben.
Great info thankx

I totally enjoyed this video... Fast paced & above all else it's not another utterly useless "watch me catch fish" crap video. I liked what you have to say. Thumbs up
Looking to get into musky fishing. Was wondering if the Piscifun Alijoz 300 is a decent and budget friendly reel to get started out on.
Get a Daiwa 300. Any Daiwa 300 7:1 speed or higher. Get the heaviest 7’4” fast or extra fast action bass rod rated lure wait up to 2oz +. Longer the butt end length the better. Heavy Swim bait rods. Kast king make a good one. Lew’s Xfinity Pro on clearance at Sportsman’s warehouse right now if they have a 1/2-2oz lure weight rated, 7’4 Heavy extra fast remaining in stock, that’s a good place to start for 30$ you get an 80$ rod right now on clearance. 80lb test power pro.
AFW Tooth Proof wire leader material. Make your own leaders. You can twist em up by hand if you got strong fingers. Then bend the excess into an L shape and rock it back and forth and it breaks clean at the twist. I make em on the boat. But I also keep a bunch made when I can. Buy 1oz Rattle Traps. Forget all these giant baits to start. One knocker Rattle traps are cheap and super effective. In spring they are deadly cause bait is small in spring. AC Shiners are also good. I mostly cast minnow baits. Lipped and lipless. You can repaint em when they get thrashed. You can change the hooks. Rubbers and blade baits wear out, they get chomped to death and can’t be repaired usually. There are minnow baits and crank baits available for every depth you want to fish. If you need weedless then go to standard looking spinner baits that are up sized from bass spinner. 1 1/2 oz -2oz. Or you can fish large tubes. Swim baits. Yum Money Minnow for budget. First time you throw a 30$ Sinking Bull dawg and back lash and it sinks to the bottom and you get it hung in a tree or stump on the bottom you’ll cry like a baby. Or you rare back and throw one of those 4-8oz lures and your back lash stops the reel and the line cracks like a whip and your bait flys off you’ll be sorry you clipped it on. You need a broom handle to throw baits that size anyway and it will kill your back. Heavy means they sink fast and you need a fast rig to keep em off the bottom and a ginormous rod to cast em. When you set the hook on a 1lb bait you gotta be able to move that bait hard fast. Bass rod won’t get cha there. Looking at 350$ musky rod 300$ 400 size reel and a trip to the chiropractor. Smaller inline spinners work just as good or better than double cow girl. And uou don’t need double blades. Single blades aren’t balanced so they have more thump. Phantom lures makes good top water. Fish shallow bays and coves off the main channels in the spring time. Dark shallow water heats up first and draws bait and Muskies early.
Any of this helps let me know. Got any more questions I’m happy to help if I see the reply.
You can get into musky fishing from nothing for 500$ and have a pretty good basic set up and tackle box.
You only need a swim bait rod 300 size reel and then a heavy heavy musky rod 400 reel to do it all.
I don’t like the big power handles on my 300 size reels. 400 reel with giant rod then ok the big ball handle works better.
For lures try indoor flea markets around the lakes that hold Muskies to stock up on used baits.
Hey good luck!!!!
Strand wire leaders fail in my experience. I’ve seen multiple savage gear line through trout strand wire leader fail. The lures catch fish but I have no faith that they’ll hold a large musky.
Trust me guys, get the hook cutters. It feels horrible when a musky dies on you😢
I almost always use straight wire leaders. I can make em in the boat without tools. Floro leaders are big and I feel easier to see and makes your presentation less natural to the fish. Clamps can fail. Hay wire twist has never failed me. I never use braided wire anymore cause I’ve had em pull lose from the clamp. After a musky thrashes around with a bait in its mouth in front of you for 20 min cause your braided wire leader clamps from the factory failed…… you throw them all out of your box. Wire wrist never failed me yet. I do it properly and if it doesn’t turn out 100% right I start over and make another. Lures are too expensive. Time is valuable. Muskies lives are too precious.
4:40 the bugs! You breathing and eating your protein same time!!!!

You taking notes on this one?
Sounds simple. But, good mind/framework.
Write all these down.
For us to utilize n remember - if nothing else, to remind Madden.
Okay, just to clarify something, DO NOT use jawspreaders. They are not safe and comfortable for the fish. Instead, grab the fish by its gills (in dutch we call it a 'kieuwgreep') and open the fish's mouth that way.
Yall say kin up there instead of cAn.
Example = “I do it whenever I KIN.”
When you guys say “CAN” of soup do you still call it a soup KIN????
“Open a KiN of soup.”???????
Fluorocarbon def won't work well with glides and jerkbaits. I really find no need for fluorocarbon personally, 49 strand and straight wire is all I need
