I have had a few of the steel rods laying around after my grandparents moved and I was given some of my grandfather's old fishing equipment. I never used them. They were kind of short and had only a few line guides.
Walt, (or anyone else) have you done "figure eights" along side the boat after a muskie follow? I have hooked few that way. One of my friend's brother did a few of these at the end of every cast, which accounted for a few hook-ups on muskies that he had not seen following his lure.
At that time we were fishing a lot of Mepps Giant Killer in-line spinners with the silver spinner/black skirt. Our muskie fishing at that time was done on Lake of the Woods Whitefish bay and Sabaskong bay, and later Lac Suel.
