Gear for this water

For the muskie and pike (northern pike on the season program here)

Heavy casting rod	7.5 to 9 ft heavy with 65 to 80 lb braid; these fish punish light gear
Large bucktails and gliders	big profile baits; finish every cast with a figure-eight
Steel or heavy fluoro leader	non-negotiable; pike and muskie cut everything else

Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
