Good information...as always ! I was actually hoping to see some...on the water... footage... and yes...was hoping to see a musky caught on that bucktail. Guess I'll just have to keep watching your videos ...just in case 😉. Hopefully you'll have a good finish to the season !
@@petemaina7073 agreed, I had some smaller beads I liked to use before but they didn’t fit on .051 wire, but the sleeves fit thru big wire and I think the small surface area helps the blades start faster.
Will the hardware store sell straight wire? I bought gauge 51 at Canadian tire the other day on a coil …. The blade works, but every few casts you have to bend the bait back in to shape 😂
you troll putting your lures where you would cast for them, rock humps, weed edges, etc. you make waypoints on your graph to make each future pass more fruitful. speed depends on water temp and lure choice. some people go over 5mph in the summer, down to 2.5-3.5 in the fall. some baits will blow out at 3.5 mph, some 4. as to baits, it seems like more and more people are keeping a small crank all year like a .22 short ss, 5 inch slammer, rapala super shad rap etc. flat sided cranks like a jake/grandma/slammer are bread and butter. believers and invaders would be common. people troll barbarians and other lipless. people also troll rubber and blades. its a really big topic hope this helps.
Hi, pretty good info by Hot Ramen there as well. I would add that open water zones too, especially in bowl-type lakes with few structural elements. You want to try different depth zones and lure types to hopefully find a pattern ... I guess too - this would make a good video topic
Kinda looks like my dad's workshop. 30 × 40 foot of eight million projects at once. He is building another shed right now. The sides of it are made to store wood in stacks with plastic on the sides. It will be his tractor storage and maple syrup melting area. It is nice to be retired and to be able to have a mess and a mess of stuff to do !!!
No not at all; simply a deal of bait size. For larger (longer) baits not a bad idea; especially on baits to be used after dark when they often hit from the side ... on medium baits not necessary but big ones not a bad idea.

Awesome man cave! Thanks for the video, Pete. I want to get into building bucktails to pass time this winter.
It's a fun deal and always a little more rewarding when you whack one on a bait you made
Wow, Pete is finally showing a little age with those readers! I know what I'm going to get you for Christmas.
Hopefully not a set of glasses ;)
Great video guy's. The deadly double blade 👍
Great video I love making bucktails
It is fun stuff
Great video!!
Wicked vid!

Hey bro. Thx. Yeah that particular bait hasn't got one. Duck hunt and other activities got in the way
@@petemaina7073 our duck season starts in two weeks...it does get in the way...
@@curtadams3281 Yeah no doubt but a great time
Good tips. I still tie deer hair. It seems as it's almost a thing of the past.
For sure not many people do that anymore
I like using a sleeve behind the Clevis too.
Yeah it's a little different and spins as good as any bead
@@petemaina7073 agreed, I had some smaller beads I liked to use before but they didn’t fit on .051 wire, but the sleeves fit thru big wire and I think the small surface area helps the blades start faster.
@@lukem2492 For sure. It does work well; I have a bunch of different size sleeves

Pete, where can I buy this material to build my own lures! I have time, and would like to try this. Thanks
Where do you troll for muskie and how do you troll for them (speed, depth, lure choice, etc.)
you troll putting your lures where you would cast for them, rock humps, weed edges, etc. you make waypoints on your graph to make each future pass more fruitful. speed depends on water temp and lure choice. some people go over 5mph in the summer, down to 2.5-3.5 in the fall. some baits will blow out at 3.5 mph, some 4.

I think I would really like your dad. Being retired sounds nice too
An unorganized workbench, like mine, is a sign of extreme genius.
Agree
Are you against a second treble further forward?
No not at all; simply a deal of bait size. For larger (longer) baits not a bad idea; especially on baits to be used after dark when they often hit from the side ... on medium baits not necessary but big ones not a bad idea.
nice stuff pete, how long is your flashabou on top and bottom ? because mine the top is even with the bottom doesn't look as good.
Good day! tell me and how much weighs the weight that is above the tee?
😁😁😁
In case you get nippers 😂
