The Gopher Muskie Lure - Musky Bait - Orange
Rating: [ not rated yet ]
Back in the 1950's, muskie's were on the minds of two Wisconsin men who fished the waters of the north woods. Wanting a lure with greater muskie appeal, they developed the Gopher. Designed to mimic the swimming action of a small rodent, the original lure proved to be very successful. The original Gophers are now highly sought after by antique lure collectors. The Gopher bait is now made again by one of the original makers. August Machtig of Sheboygan, Wisconsin is now producing the Gopher. The Gopher baits are constructed with wooden bodies, unique flock finish and through wire construction. Each bait has a collector ID number etched on the paddles. The musky gopher is 8.5" long and weights 2 ounces. It sports 5/0 treble hooks and stainless steel paddles. This bait is designed to fish slow and could be the slowest bait you own. For best results, cast the bait out and let it settle. Now, give the lure a twitch or two and begin a slow retrieve. Not too fast or you'll spoil the action. Tip : Most people buy this bait as a collectible but it is made to catch fish! I have found that a drop of fine oil helps the paddles spin and the more you fish it the better it gets.
