Description

Supernatural Big Baits are famous for their unique wandering action. They are effective whether you are casting or trolling, but they really shine with their trolling ability. Hand made out of wood in the USA, Supernatural Big Baits have a custom designed metal lip with 3 different depth setting for increased durability and versatility. Even though the MattLock will run over 6+mph, it is at slower speeds where it has been the most effective. This makes it ideal for early and late in the open water season when the water temp is the coldest and muskies can be a bit more sluggish. It is also an exceptional night fishing lure as this slower speed allows the fish more time to find the bait in the darkness. If you are not trolling after dark during the summer you are missing out on one of the best bites of the entire year. Multiple fish nights are the norm. Our favorite technique is to use planer boards and only put the baits 4‘ to 15‘ behind them. This keeps the baits very close to the surface. You can troll structure doing this but we have done the best over open water. One other trick with the MattLock is to cast it and crawl it slowly along the surface. This big bait wobbling on the surface is very natural and something the fish don’t see and we have raised some huge fish doing this when they would not respond to other presentations. 10″ body. “11.25 overall. 8.6 ounces 12″ body. 13.25” overall. 9.5 ounces * Large wood lures like Supernaturals are each unique due to varying density of wood.

Field Notes

Troll the MattLock at slower speeds (over 6+ mph but most effective slower) to keep it working near the surface. For best results, use planer boards and run the lure about 4–15 ft behind the boards; it also shines at night in open water when muskies are sluggish. You can also cast and crawl it slowly along the surface for a natural wobble.
