Freshwater Phil custom tied Musky rig

Muskies are the top of the food chain when it comes to Freshwater fish in this part of the continent. As I just bought my boat, I plan to start targeting them in the fall. I plan to use a beefed up version of my original pike rig, the Freshwater Phil musky rig.

Freshwater Phil custom tied musky rigs use ultra sharp 7/0 wide gap hooks, 80 LB Fireline XDS in smoke color, a 20 KG (44 LB) coated steel leader available in 10" or 12" lengths. They also have snap swivel for quick and easy attaching to your swivel.

Order your Freshwater Phil custom tied musky rig available in 4', 5' or 6' lengths (+leader length), free shipping to the continental US and Canada.

Instructions for use with bobbers or corks: - Tie a snap swivel to your main line.
- Snap Freshwater Phil bass rig to your swivel, then attach large bobber. For popping corks, attach rig to bottom, your main line snap to top of popping cork.
- Clip a split shot about 2' above the hook.
- Bait hook with live or dead 12" - 14" minnow, chub or sucker hooked through upper lip.
- When muskies take live bait , allow the fish to swim with the bait in its mouth for 15-20 minutes, at which time your bobber will likely go under and re-surface a few times. Reel any slack before setting the hook in a long, hard upward motion. A second hookset is good insurance.

General Instructions:
Store rigs in original bags when not in use.
Sinkers and main line swivels or snaps are not included with any rigs.
If you plan to live release, crimping your barb will increase the odds of your fish surviving, but slightly decrease the chance of landing the fish.
