Muskies will make you mad. They respond only to artificial baits when they feel like it and leave anglers sore from the day's casting and frustrated at the lack of a fish.

Similar to northern pike, muskies take eating very seriously though they are far more selective than pike. Try a 5- to 6-inch shad body or grub on a half-ounce jighead to entice unwilling biters. The plastic body is supple and lifelike, giving muskies what they're looking for.
