Cheap Musky Gear Costs More In The Long Run
Musky Hunter|October/November 2019
“Muskies on a Budget” might seem like an oxy-moron. We know that musky fishing requires more investment than many sports. Nevertheless, there are options to avoid breaking the bank (or losing your mind).

Cheap Musky Gear Costs More In The Long Run

Speaking of breaking the bank, most people’s first move when they start musky fishing is to buy a boat. I have had many clients at Muddy Creek Fishing Guides who have basically hopped off of my boat and run off to buy their own. A boat is a big investment, so you might forget that it is just the beginning. And when new boats cost from $50,000 to well into six figures, this realization can be daunting.

Thus, it is common to see someone buy a great boat and then fill it with cheap hardware. This is often a mistake. There are certain things that you only want to have to buy once, or you will inevitably spend more money replacing them than with an initial commitment in a high quality product. This is a lesson I learned firsthand.
