All righty then!.... Couldn't stand it any longer ...reservations are made for a week long Musky trip. Have caught them before incidentally...but nothing over 26-28". Here's the issue... The heaviest tackle I have is a 7' Peregrine med action casting rod, with my old Ambassaduer 5500c spooled with 12 lb. Stren. Ain't enough firepower is it? The Musky lure collecting has already started...and most all of them are over the max lure weight my rod is designed for. Will mostly be throwing Mepps and big Rapalas. Fish over 50" are not uncommon where we are headed. Last time I fished this lake was 1962... before it even had any Muskies in it! Any tackle suggestions for starters? On a Soc. Sec. budget? This stuff is expensive !
