I fished muskys in the UP of Michigan, My 2 favorite lure for olf toothy one is Red white daredevel and you cant go wrong with a large mepps spinner (almost any color) but I like the gold red buck tail's...watch for weedy grass lines with stumps near buy a river or large stream near buy dosnt hurt either....lots of casts are required, but watch the water with some good polorized glasses, they well chase several times before hitting, and some just attack at first site, so expect the unexpected....the wire leader is good advice it dont have to be too long....DJ
