Experimenting
by Dick Pearson
Hi folks. I write this just after returning from the Canadian opener. Only spent two days but had a great time and boated some very nice fish. One of the many things I enjoy about the opener is I get to test the many ‘experiments’ I’ve invested time and money in over the winter. Occasionally they work, most often they don’t. With respect to homemade or home modified lures, the experiments have a chance if I can get my wife to do the actual work involved. She’s definitely a ‘hands on’ farm girl as opposed to me, the ‘hands off’ city slicker. Heck, I have to admit that occasionally its her idea-and work-that works. For instance starting in the 70’s she was the first I knew to drill holes in Suick tails and attach small spinner blades that flutter which each jerk, and her weighted Bobbie baits are still sought after by many old timers in the know. I digress but anyway, with respect to lures, this year was no exception and I had a number to try.

The Doc™ takes on the Giant Trevally
Tony Luscombe’s experience with Musky Mania’s Doc™
“Dear friends,
Enclosed you will find photos of the 58lb. Giant Trevally and a Queenfish both caught on the Musky Mania Doc™ glidebait that is also enclosed for your inspection after the abuse it took from the Trevally. Pound for pound this may be the hardest hitting and strongest fighter among fish of the world. It is certainl far stronger than any other fish I have caught including a 100lb. Baby Bluefin Tuna.
Before taking my trip to Oman, in the United Arab Emirates, I saw your lures on the internet and their size and type of lure prompted me to want to try them on the Giant Trevally. It would appear that my decision paid off. I am also including some pictures of the damage other lures suffered by the attacks of these brutes. You can clearly see that your lure withstood the abuse much better than the others.
I like to experiment and have found that many freshwater lures also do well in saltwater. Most lures used for the Giant Trevally are made in Japan of hardwoods and given an incredible fine finish. These lure can cost anywhere from $40-$70 each. While they certainly catch fish, I find that a bit expensive for my taste. Obviously, another reason for experimenting with more reasonable costing lures.
I hope my little experiment will be some help to your company and I am sure that the Doc™ will produce on Stripers here locally on Long Island.”
