It has been many, MANY years ago, but I do recall, the SINGLE Musky I've ever caught; was eaten due to trolling a Mepps3 spinner/ a 10 or 12 in., plastic coated steel leader. Was prolly using ~30 lb. mono... Hell, this WAS 50-52 years ago. If my memory bears any resemblance to "a stell-trap"; it is that: "It's old and rusty"!
Yup...they can certainly swallow that. Some time ya gotta eat em. And the ones I have eaten were darn good.
