The river muskie are finally on the bite.  Heres Tom La Beau with an impressive 47" release that hammered one of the new 2009 prototype 8" Sand Cats.   The tail wobble and body roll have been increased with a new drop belly design and lexan diving bill inserted into the nose.   This modification also helps protect the head when pounding rocky bottoms.  Stay tuned for more photos of muskie releases and photos of the bait.

The big pike are on one hot bite this summer on Wabaskang Lake.   Heres pro staffer Mike Lammers again with another beauty that slammed the big 10" model Sand Cat.   Mike commented that some nasty cold fronts came through this last week on Wabaskang and the slow rise wobble of  the 10" model in a bronze scale sucker pattern  is what they seemed to have a preference for.

         Pro staffer Mike Lammers with a beautifully marked 44" Wabaskang Lake pike release this past week.   Mike stated
             this was the best week he and his family has ever had for catching lunker pike in Canada.   The 8" Sand Cat in 
                 chartreuse shad pattern was the hot bait all week that fooled 'em.     What a great shot to end the trip!!
