You know I have read over this tread & suddenly it dawned on me that the swimbait group mirrors the musky group that developed the same passion for big baits several decades earlier. Really the only differences are the substitution of bass for the musky as the pursued prey. 

I’ve always thought this to be an accurate assumption. Its why I have never gotten into the musky game. I have never had a desire to go around chucking a 2x4 around all day just in hopes of spotting a 50”. But now im feeling inclined to try the smaller glidebait game on smallies and northern. I think because i feel like ill get consistantly bit by northern shere i fish.

I can remember as a kid reading a story from Outdoor Life or Field & Stream about musky fishing & the famous statement "fish of a thousands casts". That statement held true for a lot of years before I caught my first ski. Then I found the fallacy of that statement when I experienced my first trolling trip on St Clair catching a dozen muskies in one day. 

I don't know man, sounds like no casts to me

Point well taken but often there is one cast to get the bait out for each trolling run.
