Musso Family

Just finished off a bunch of Musso Donnys. The first picture are Juniors- top is a maple 3oz, middle two are pines 2.5oz, and a surface swimmer 2.375oz. Second picture are Seniors, Top two are Pines 3.375oz and a surface swimmer 3.25oz. Finally, a family picture. All weights are rigged with 3 trebles. Some of the weights are a little off traditional Musso's so I'm curious to see how the perform.

Those look fantastic Dan.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

You rule.



I'm actually trying to build the same stuff right now.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

I love mussos, those look nice
