Description

Do you fish pike or musky? Add a few of these to your cart! The Haymaker is the perfect size for a day of musky fishing. With the smaller #8 blades, they are easier to cast and retrieve over and over. After all, musky are the fish of 10,000 casts! The blades still create a vortex, and strobing skirts you are accustomed to with the double 10s , but you can burn them faster. You want to trigger a reaction strike in both pike and musky, so you want a fast retrieve. The Haymaker moves less water, so you can burn them cast after cast! From the blades to the tip of the 5/0 treble hook, the Haymaker measures in at 8″ long. The beads and body balance out the weight at the back so stay level cutting through the water.

Field Notes

Use a fast retrieve to trigger reaction strikes from pike and musky. Burn it cast after cast to keep the blades creating a vortex while the strobing skirt flashes.

Pros

  • Creates a vortex with blades for consistent attraction
  • Balanced for staying level through the water
  • 8" size with a #8 blade for easier repeated casting

Cons

  • Best performance relies on burning/fast retrieval
  • Treble hook setup can increase snag risk in heavy cover
