Description

New for 2026 is The grub tail ORCA from VK Musky Lures. Named after the famous boat from JAWS, the Orca jerk bait is slightly past neutral buoyancy. With this you can reach great depths on structure, points, rocks, etc. with a consistent ripping action you can keep the 6.5” down 4’ and the 8.5” down 8-10’. For even further depths work the bait slower. For shallow presentations you can rip upward on the jerk bait, and it will continue to dive shallowly without blowing out of the water. You’ll notice a minnow bait style action on the Figure 8. You’ll notice in the design a wide back and V taper on these baits for excellent hook up ratio. In their season debut, clients boated over 250 fish on the Orca this past year. Enjoy these hand made and tested custom musky lures. The 6.5" Orca weighs 2.1 oz. The 6.5" Grub Tail Orca uses a 6" Esox Assault Tail for replacement.

Field Notes

Use on structure, points, and rocky areas where you want a consistent ripping/jerking action that holds depth. For the 6.5" model, keep it down around 4 ft with steady rips; slow down to reach deeper water or rip upward for shallower presentations without blowing out of the water.

Pros

  • Reaches and holds specific depths on structure (about 4 ft for the 6.5")
  • Consistent ripping action with figure-8 style minnow bait movement
  • Wide back and V-taper design for improved hook-up ratio
  • Works both on deeper and shallow upward rips

Cons

  • Requires deliberate cadence (speed changes depth)
  • Musky-sized lure—may be overkill for smaller predators
