More Stagger Blades from Musky Frenzy

In the past few months we added the new IC10 from Musky Frenzy and we also upgraded our color lineup in the popular IC9 and 8/9 Stagger Blades as well. A couple of the things that make these blades different than many other bucktails would be the 1 piece clevis. This clevis will get these blades spinning as soon as they hit the water. The other thing you'll notice is the Indiana/Colorado combo on the blades. This will produce a different thump but it will also make these blades pull easier through the water since the different blades won't flare out quite as far as your traditional double Colorado blades. Check out the video below from Doug Wegner Fishing on some recent success he's had with these blades. If you want an incredible lineup of colors including some exclusive stuff visit www.teamrhinnooutdoors.com.

Kevin Pischke talks on and off the water tips

We asked Kevin Pischke with Lay in a Line Guide Service  (1) What is something you do off the water to help catch more fish? and (2) When your on the water and not contacting muskies what is 1 change you'll make. Below you'll the answers to these questions.

 

If you’re not contacting fish on the water what’s the one adjustment you make?

Boat position:

Where are the fish in relationship to the area / structure you are fishing? If it’s a spot that regularly holds and produces fish I’ll change my boat position before I do anything else. Has something like wind, current, sun, clouds, bait location or boat traffic caused them to change their position? Do I need to work the deepest edge off of a weed bed because high blue skis have pushed them deep? Do I need to cast parallel to a weed edge or rock bar because a wind driven current has them positioned in a different direction nosed into the current? Do I need to get up tight in the weeds or on a bar because heavy boat pressure has pushed fish into the areas? Maybe it’s as simple as the fish have seen baits being retrieved in the same manner all day and by working it deep to shallow versus shallow to deep is the simple change that will initiate a strike.

 

What is something you do off the water to help you succeed

 Maintain and organize fishing records.

I keep detailed records of my fishing and on my off time I will compile that data to track day to day fishing and also trends and results drawn out over a season. This can also be taken a step further to compare trends over several seasons. This helps you fine tune your fishing efforts to specific weather, season, and regional patterns. A good example would be tracking a change in fish behavior for a season with slow warming water temperatures that inhibited weed growth on a body of water that fish are heavily weed related because of a lack of other types of structure. A simpler day to day example of records would be how a certain direction wind affects the fish on a specific body of water.
