It works with a simple straight retrieve but excels when retrieved with pauses. A lethal must-have for anyone chasing big muskellunge and northern pike. Why anglers fish the Colossus Curly 12 inches of pure predator bait — a large head that displaces so much water no predator can miss it Calm glide + unpredictable darts — the trophy-fish action profile Replaceable curly tail — fixed tail joint, swaps in seconds when big fish tear it up Premium BKK hooks — very strong and super sharp, with double split rings under the belly so fish can't break loose Casts and trolls — effective from 1.2 to 4 mph When and how to fish it With solid gear it's an excellent casting bait — straight retrieves with long pauses trigger following giants. It's also an incredibly effective trolling bait for covering big water. Fish it over deep weed edges, rock structure, and open-water bait schools wherever trophy musky and pike hunt.
