I got the wood duck in 6"........backordered. The big northern at Isle Royale are still shallow even in August due to the cool water temps. So far I have overlooked any topwater options and that might be a big mistake. Thanks Miss Molly ;-)
Lets Go!

Thanks for posting this. They had the same deal a few days ago and I didn't know it was one-day-only so I missed getting my order in (which I'd been working on for weeks!).

Need some advice so you can "have your way"? .........I got 2 words for you > Massage oil.
After about 20 minutes they will agree to pretty much anything.......as in "Sweetie, I was thinking of getting / doing ___________" < Fill in the blank..........(Resistance is futile ;-)

No problem, ol' buddy. I got your back. I got enough lures that if we're ever fishing the same lake and you lose your last one to pike or rock, I'll be happy to sell you whatever you need.*

I will paddle eternal, Kevlar and carbon.

Ahhh successful for once :)
I have so many lures I have never used but plan on using that I have decided to use them first before adding new ones, plus I had just gone to Cabelas after a recent trip and re-stocked what I lost...

I have no time for the "new" lures....having too much fun revisiting the old lures, such as a Creme Scoundrel, complete with the spinner and predicted. Reason? Because the fish have never seen it....it went out of "style" by the 70's. Fishermen moved on to the Big-O, and grape flavored worms. Lots of lures did not stop catching fish, fishermen just stopped using them.

Hey my little duckie finally showed up! I had forgotten all about it.
I think I made the right choice.......the large size in the wood duck finish. This is going to be a hoot to fish. Sort of like a large version of a Top Toad which is such a bang 'em lure. Just throw it out and reel it in. I can day dream until that noise which resembles a bathtub falling into the water startles me into reality. > "Um, excuse me, I think your up".
I wonder if any salt water fish would eat themselves a little duckie?

Interesting hook set up.........there is a top mounted feather wrapped treble on the back and an optional treble for the stomach. I would be very tempted to put a double hook (like a frog hook) on the stomach and keep it in place via a small easily broken rubber band. Of course that would limit the lures ability to fish it weedless but in open water I think the hooking ability would be greatly enhanced.
I bet gators would eat this thing. Ever eat gator? Pretty good if you let it soak in milk and Italian dressing for 3 days.......gets nice and tender then.

Wow.......how did you get that? My younger days when my hair hadn't turned. The only thing missing is some Jaws music 1/2 way through and a big dorsal fin.
I thought it was interesting how the Savage lure guys decided to come up with the lure. Evidently one of the lure designers kept complaining about baby ducks disappearing from his pond.
Ever been out paddling and seen momma duckie with only 1 or 2 little ones in tow? Pretty common........What happened to the rest?

Happy you played along, MT!
I'll be fishing three or four musky lakes this summer and if my tackle boxES weren't already overflowing, I'd buy one of those duckies. I'm sure it would produce and when it wasn't catching fish, it would be a hoot to watch.

Hey I like to play Miss Molly.........as long as its not mean spirited its all good ;-)
I think folk underestimate just what is prey for the fish on the shield. The duckie will take bass and pike and should not really be considered strictly a muskie lure. On Suzanette I was fishing large topwaters for pike and blasting smallies with it. At the base of the falls chain entering into Kawanipi I was fishing the Super Shad Rap and getting 5 and 6lb walleyes after they declined a regular shad rap. And how about last year on Musclow in WCPP where 12" walleyes were eating my 8" Shadzilla?

I also like to play!
Another issue for me is strength. I had musky fever for a few years and those were sore years. Heaving those big lures hurt! So, I sold all my musky rods and now use stout baitcasting rods built for bass to reduce some of the weight, but I also avoid the bigger lures, even though they clearly work for you and others.

Despite a propensity to fish big at times I hear what you are saying Miss Molly. Sometimes a person needs to gravitate to "whats fun". There is a strong argument for fishing light tackle as it is just funnerer (more better than just fun ;-)

I have a friend who's an English prof at Vandy and your line is just what he'd write. He too treats words like playmates.
I also don't need the big tackle. I don't catch muskies big enough to warrant it. A 40-incher is a biggun for me. My biggest is 46 inches, which when caught solo in a canoe feels like a 55-incher! I did catch one from the shore once that might have been 47 or 48 inches, but I didn't want to drag it up onto the rocks, so I only got the upper third out of the water to unhook it and release it. She was a thick girl too!
