Choices in Spinner Baits
Craig Sandell © 2006
Spinner baits are also a main stay among Muskie anglers. You will find them in a multitude of color and blade configurations as well as those outfitted with single and treble hooks.
Among the most popular these days are the spinners that are produced by Brooktail Lures. Each lure is hand tied and gets the individual attention of the owner.

As I have a chance to review other lures, I will post them also. For now, these are the spinnerbaits that offer the best performance, flexibility and price.
