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 this bucktail when you want a fast-moving reaction bait for pike and musky. The smaller blades make it easier to cast repeatedly and burn over open water, weed edges, or other areas where a steady retrieve can trigger strikes. It is especially useful when fish are active and responding to flash and vibration.

Pros

  • Smaller #8 blades are easier to cast and retrieve repeatedly
  • Creates flash, vibration, and skirt strobe for reaction strikes
  • Balanced to stay level in the water

Cons

  • Moves less water than larger double-10 style bucktails
  • Best suited to active fish and faster retrieves
