Inside scoop: the hybrid technique was discussed in detail on an earlier post this week. Use a minnow bait as both a jerkbait and a crankbait inside one single retrieve. This tank hit on the jerkbait technique as it clunked a rock. 👊

September Throwback Musky! Caught over deep boulders on a ShallowRaider! Hybrid retrieve. Hit on the pause. 👊

The origins of the Super TopRaider! 👊

SUPER TOPRAIDER — In 1999 the TopRaider was a brand new bait and catching fish like crazy, and I suggested to Joe Bucher he produce a twin-tail model. It took some convincing, but within two weeks Joe handed me a prototype. This musky was one of two mid-40-inch fish caught from Lake Vermilion in Minnesota on September 1, 1999, the first day I tried the bait. Interestingly, both muskies initially followed a single-tailed TopRaider but then crushed what later became known as the Super TopRaider.

BIG CONGRATS TO AUSTIN KUHLKA

Austin put an absolute MONSTER in the net on one of our NEW prototype Rhythm Tails!I can tell you it was a 8/10 combo
Nothing better than seeing a new bait get put to the test and produce a fish like THIS! We’re still testing, tweaking, and putting these prototypes through their paces… but I’d say this one is off to a pretty damn good start!

Robert Redman stuck this TANK up on Lake of the Woods last week!
And this one couldn’t have been scripted any better…
LAST CAST. LAST SPOT. LAST DAY.
Talk about ending a trip the right way!! 😂
Alright, let’s see who really knows their Bucher baits 👀
GUESS THE BAIT + THE COLOR
First person to get BOTH right wins that exact bait!
Here is a hint. This one likes to get down and make some noise.
