super impressed with the bulldawg lure. Gave it a go today and while I didn't get so much as a follow I could still tell this is a bang em lure.
kudos to gfy paddler for turning me on to it. Very easy lure to fish........casts well and is as easy as pie to retrieve. Doesn't wear you out like some baits (big spinners, jerk baits etc.) Love it.

Just got back from a trip where we fished the Chippewa Flowage in Wisconsin. We took a guide one day, and judging by the amount of bulldawgs he had hanging around his boat, the pros up there believe strongly in the bait.
I tossed my micro dawg in some other local lakes around dusk for walleye. I had decent success on some lakes that aren't know as huge walleye producers. I gained confidence in the micro dawg for quetico. Going to buy a few more.

Picked up a Bulldawg lure the other day at Cabelas. Dang things weigh a ton , but I still like it. Will probably toss it tomorrow on Lake St Clair where the North channel of the St Clair river empties into the lake. I seen some other guys tossing huge plastics along a weed edge I walleye fish. They hit it pretty hard so I guess they have popped a few big boys there before.
I was always suspicious of fishing big plastics. Think of the physics involved. Big fish bites down hard on plastic lure. You jerk........what has to happen is the lure has to move in order for the hooks to gain purchase. But if Mr. Big has his teeth in soft plastic I am having trouble seeing how the lure moves. Maybe when he lets go the hooks end up setting so keep the pressure on. The good thing about hard plastic or wood is the lure can slide, big nasty teeth or not.
Anyway, seems like a pretty cool lure with the big tail and all. Shoot, if I was a fish I would probably eat the thing.

Jax it is a whole lot easier to figure 8 in a canoe or kayak if you are standing instead of sitting. Why is it that I have to point out even the obvious? When the big muskie hits at boatside just bend your knees for better balance.
it may be a bit of a ride.......just hold on (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Looks good........I like the 3 tails
HA! we arent that much different after all! i have one of those bad boys, in hot perch. doesnt see much use though because it sinks SUPER fast and most of my muskie fishing is done from shore its so hard to figure 8 from a canoe/kayak, plus i sit too low i feel. i cant deny the 3 tails having a really neat action though. i love how it looks in the water, just too scared to use it for fear of losing it.
also great to see you visit rollie and helens, that place is just a few miles from my old stomping grounds!

Jax.......I transport most of my big stuff by wrapping them in those mini nylon cases that use Velcro to seal. They are used to wrap a lure while it is on a rod. The larger sizes wrap most large lures, easily available at bass pro (lure wraps). Taking the hooks off sounds like a pain in the keister.
@ the first part, i dont even have a response
@ the second part, anything velcro sounds like something id be interested in. in my most recent cabelas online shopping spree (this time to outfit my kayak) i added a couple of those neoprene reel covers with the velcro straps to my order. they are yet to show up, but they seem like something that would be useful when lashing rods inside canoes for portages. right now i have that pretty nifty velcroed in golf club tube holders with a bit of velcro so keep the reel off the hull as well. after having the yoke break on us this year, the canoe bounced a bit more with the rope yoke, so my baitcaster had a little bit of boat rash THAT AINT GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN!!

Yup jimmar sometimes elephants eat peanuts. Don't get me wrong, there is certainly a time to go small and I have caught a pile of fish playing small ball. The north country in particular is different IMO. The fish, especially the bigger ones, seem to be a bit more conditioned to eating larger portions. Do they seem to be more savage or is it my imagination?
