I stumble across the Strike Tech reel website earlier today and discovered a new reel technology I had never heard of before, Live Action Spool. At first glance these reels look like any other spinning reel but there is one huge difference, you don’t have to move the rod to change the action of your lure, the reel does it for you. Think of it as the ultimate lazy mans fishing reel. With a quick adjustment of the spool your lure action changes greatly.
“The Live Action Spool system sends five action pulses to your lure with every rotation of the handle. The secret is in the two piece spool, you pre-set the spool by turning it to the degree of action that you want! It now works like a cam altering the speed of retrieve every time the bail passes round the spool.”
I’m not convinced this would replace my normal spinning reels, but I’d love to give one a try!

I got to try out a few Reaction Strike baits while muskie fishing in New Jersey – but sadly I never got to try out the “Home Wrecker!” Looks like a good lure to me!

I’ll be heading south to the United states in two weeks. Its a business trip, but I’ll be fishing every chance I get. I’ll be in New Jersey, about 40 minutes from New York, New York and I have a lot of fishing options. My goal is to catch a muskie though, so I just ordered a few new lures from a Eastern Esox. I fished for muskie with the co-owner in back in June and he turned me on to a couple of lures that I have wanted to buy ever since, and here they are!
7.5″ Phantom Canadian Crush
6.75″ Magic Maker Silver Shiner and Firetiger
Its been a couple of years since I’ve targeted muskie in the fall, but luckily I’ll be fishing with a guy who knows the area well. As our own Shop grows, you will definitely be seeing pike and muskie lures like these, so check back often!
What are your favorite fall muskie lures?
