Awesome video! Extremely versatile lure from spring till ice up, worked fast or slow...You can make the lure do everything from ticking rocks to almost a topwater over tall weeds, and everything in between. Some ideas on future vids.... Some tips/tricks/ modifications and ways of tuning them. Especially woodies. By far my favorite, but they sometimes run funky out of the package and blow out on the rip/twitch. I kinda guess my way through tuning them to not blow out. Would love to know if you have a system/way to tune blow out ones?...Also what do you like to see them doing while you work them? Should they walk? Head down on pull and then float tail up? Or head up? When do you use which one were? And If you could match it up, it would be neat to see how you work a suick with a split screen of what the lure is doing underwater at the same time. And then see different retrieves, ripping, twitching, long pauses, semi slack line vs slack line twitching, wieghted vs un weight.
Thanks for all the suggestions Ben! This spring we are planning a bunch of info videos covering topics just like this. I hope you'll stick around and check them out! Appreciate you!
@@54orbust absolutely ill be here! You guys are best musky information channel on TH-cam right now! The spot breakdowns and underwater videos are absolutely awesome. you guys should be a 100k sub channel with everything you put out, so much to be learned from your channel.
First musky bait I ever received was a suick, it sat for years when I was younger fishing for other species, then after getting into musky I found my old suick, a unweighted 9” halo black model. First cast I got 35 inch pike and within a hour it got it’s first ski. The wood unweighted 10s and 9s have been unreal, I always end up using a bell sinker on the front hanger if I want a slower rise, I would imagine it would knock more too. Awesome video.
Ben, our story isn't much different. We've always had Suicks, but when we found how and when to use them things just changed for us in the musky world! Such a timeless lure!!!
Peace! Love the kids helping on the videos. Good stuff as always - thanks for the underwater comparisons. I'm a dive-n-rise guy, so I would love any and all more videos like this one! Also cool that you showed the two different finishes underwater - they always look different underwater than I think they will. I have one of the new HI Suicks with weight system and plan to run it a bunch this coming summer.
Thx Dean! The girls are gonna be more present as we move forward! And more underwater footage coming this year. I'll message you, I have a few ideas that might interest you!
Arguably, the greatest bait of all time. I love Suicks but tend to gravitate toward the wood models and put my own unique twists on them. Another great video, I expected the hooks hitting the body on the pull to be louder under water. Not it has me thinking about how I can potentially make them product a bit more noise.
Definitely a versatile bait, from shallow weeds to shallow rocks, add some weight and get it off the break line. There is a lot you can do with a HI Suick. Thx for checking this one out!
Thanks for watching! Search our back catalogue and search suick, barfighter, Harvey javelin, topline dipstick, pandemonium SRJ. We got ya covered and we'll get some more cool underwater footage coming in 24'!
Certified to take this kind of abuse?? Wait til I tell you about my plan where you get dragged behind the chase boat to track the baits over great distances!!!
Ya, we try to include that but in these vids with shallow water it was more about staying consistent to show the difference in weights. But I'll make a note to make a vid that compares hard pulls vs short pulls vs slow pulls. Thx for the idea.
I just got my first suick and I can’t get it to swim well at all. It just sort of limps to one side and only one side, about 0-2 inches below the surface. Tried bending the tail all different ways and it didn’t help.
Wood suick? Bend the tail slightly downward, make sure the eye is straight up and down, try adding a split ring and use a wire leader. Use slow pulls and if you need to tune it to dive, add more bend and if it pulls to the side bend the corners of the tail in slightly until you find the right action. Hi Impact usually run pretty well, just don't over power them with a heavy leader and heavy snap.
Yeah it’s a 7” wood. I haven’t graduated to the 9” yet lol. My tigers are still young and just now getting to the 40” mark. They seem to prefer smaller baits.

It's in the mix as most important bait for sure, all time classic! I love the mods you make to yours!
Those look fantastic, I need to get one of the weighted HI suicks. I’ve had it on the list just need to pull the trigger!

Cool video with great info, would love to see more dive/rise videos

I love the videos where the young musky anglers are included. Adds a funny twist to an already good video.
Thx, the girls are a huge part of what we do so you'll be seeing them a lot more! Thx for watching!
Scuba tanks for Dave! Send him deep!! I bet another five feet would have really shown the potential with the weights. Great footage fellas!
Diving rocks next year for some deep footage, Dave floats, always a problem with him lol
I am certified lol

Great video, just bought the HI Suick 9" with the custom weights. Looking forward to giving it a shot.
The weights make it very versatile and easy to adapt to different situations. Thx for watching!
Great informative video, love to see more. Thanks
Thx Dennis! Plenty more underwater videos coming this season! Appreciate you watching!
I like the bait videos, but you could show how you are working the bait also. Seeing a short pull vs a long pull.
Ya, we try to include that but in these vids with shallow water it was more about staying consistent to show the difference in weights.
But I'll make a note to make a vid that compares hard pulls vs short pulls vs slow pulls. Thx for the idea.
GREAT! THANX 4 SHARING!!!! GO-54!!!
Thx James! Just filmed some more new 'show colour' for '25 Suicks!
Great video Glen, black weighted Suick anytime for me.
Ya, I imagine that is your ticket. Better be watching on Thursday, I think we see that black suick....😉
@@54orbust Looking forward to it Glen.
Glenn did you use the stock hooks or were they changed also???
That was stock out of the package
Got it. Great vid as usual. Stay safe on the ice😎
Great video! Good job girls👍
Thx for that, appreciate you watching!
Great info thanks
Thx Jeff, just doing what we do to share as much info as we can, to as many anglers as we can! Appreciate you!

The 7" require a real slow pull, it is super easy to over power them. Start slow and find the right cadence for the best action!
Million dollar question are there any colour variations more successful than others🤷🏻♂️
Lol, silver jailbird is my fav. And hard to beat perch and orange/black dots for Canada
👍👍👍
Thx Sam!
Idk but smash
