What's the significance of the figure-eight technique in musky fishing?

  1. The figure-eight technique is crucial for enticing a following musky to strike at boat side. Muskies often follow the lure out of curiosity but may hesitate to bite. By performing a figure-eight motion with the rod tip in the water, the sudden change in direction and speed of the lure can trigger an instinctive attack from the musky, turning follows into catches. This technique requires patience and practice but is highly effective in converting near misses into successful catches.
