Numbskull, No darters being used as far as I've seen, but they may have just the right trigger. Many times a Musky will put it's nose on a bait and follow it right to the boat without hitting it. A technique to get them to hit is to change direction, or figure 8 at boat side. I'm sure you surfcasters can work darters very slowly and get them to dart due to the waters movement. On an inland lake however, I need speed to get them to dance, but Musky's love a speedy presentation. I believe that the darters ability to jump off course, may provide the trigger to strike before they get to the boat.
I think that there are many plugs/lures that can do the crossover. One of the differences is where it is made to work in the water column. Many striper plugs are designed to be surface or just sub-surface, whereas Musky plugs go from surface down to 15 feet or so.
