I hadn't had a single strike throwing a Musky Killer, so I downsized to my go-to lure the #5 Aglia with a silver blade and white dressing. Some days we use this lure only and catch everything around. The pike started hitting it as soon as I began casting. Finally this one hit, and I could feel the difference in power. The guide netted it and the Boga Grip told us it qualified for a Master Angler patch...finally. I had an even bigger pike on soon after, but she cut me off after a nice fight. She actually jumped near the boat during our next drift, and we heard the spinner blade clinking when she was head-shaking the lure free.
