How many of you guys have tried any of these unusual lures? Personally I never have but I’ve seen a video of a guy catching pike after pike on a duckling lure? This article is a decent read on the subject.

I gave a buddy that uses a "mouse" lure for bass fishing
I found a baby turtle in a bass this year, so I believe they'll eat anything, so be glad they don't get as big as sharks, or lake swimming would be dangerous

I knew a guy, he's dead now, that his "go-to" muskie bait was a baby duck. He didn't try to cast it only trolled it. He caught a lot more muskies than anyone else that I knew. This was back in the '60s when muskies were very rare around here.

I have a frog type Field Mouse lure, but have only thrown it a couple times. I also have a floating head rubber Snake from yesrs ago. I did catch a Pickerel on it back in the day.

Thanks for sharing.
Those lures and ones like it are used very frequently in Musky fishing. Surface bait fishing for Musky is used in typically calm water conditions. But there are ducking lures, Bat lures, Pflueger Globe style lures. Thought the lures in the article are made from plastic, they have been making them for years out of wood. Greg Nimmer - Nimmer Swimmer Lures makes all types of handmade lures out of wood and some that are essentially collectibles.
He does make turtle lures. I think they are more to collect than to use for Muskies. But very cool.
I had to have one.
I don't have a photo of it, but I should take one. It is worth it.
That's the problem with Musky fishing. It is an addiction that grows into a lure addiction and keeps on going.
But Fly, actually that is a good idea to slowly troll a ducking lure behind the boat in places where you can use more than one rod while trolling.
I will try to share some lure photos soon.
God Bless.

Got to use what you got!!! I found my daughter having too many in bread white mice, so I snuck a few to go ice out pike fishing. Hooking them up was tough, but there action brought action.

Absolutely. He's told story's of going to West Branch and Lake Milton and tossing out around the weed beds. I'll see if we can make something happen next summer!

He also had a lure that looked like a muskrat that he would troll. I have no idea where he got them, I think he made them. This was back in the '60s.
