BigFoot Shallowraider (Bucher Tackle)
BigFoot Shallowraider (Bucher Tackle)

HOW TO FISH:
The ShallowRaider® was designed by hall of fame angler Joe Bucher specifically for casting and trolling for big gamefish in a variety of shallow water situations. Any time big muskies, pike or any other big gamefish are cruising over top weed flats, the ShallowRaider® is a prime bait to fish. Stained water lakes with shallow weed lines of 6 feet or less are also great places to fish the ShallowRaider®. Rock reefs that top off in the 6 feet range or less are yet another prime spot for this lure. Rock walls and gravel/rock mix shorelines are yet another prime candidate for both casting and trolling ShallowRaiders.

Both the straight model and the jointed version can be simply cast or trolled and worked with nothing more than a simple steady retrieve and be very deadly. Yet, they become even more effective at times when combined with a jerking/pausing motion. The jointed ShallowRaider® works exceptionally well by combining a simple straight retrieve with an abrupt pause any time it collides with cover. Follow this up with a subsequent quick, forward ripping motion of the bait immediately after the pause. This forward ripping motion (performed by a pulling upwards or sideways on the rod tip) frees any clinging debris on the lure, and often triggers a violent strike from a nearby fish hiding in that cover. This same procedure works equally well when trolling the jointed ShallowRaider® along rock walls, points and weedlines.

All of the straight model ShallowRaiders® produce action with a straight retrieve or troll, but can also be worked in a jerkbait style fashion with great results when fish are hanging tight to cover. To keep the lure shallower over high weeds, work the straight model ShallowRaider® with short jerks and longer pauses. For more lateral, side-to-side action perform the jerk motion with some slack in your line, and allow slack during the pause. If you want the lure to travel deeper, lengthen the jerk distance and reduce the pause time.

The maximum running depth of the ShallowRaider® will vary depending upon the diameter of line you use and the length of your cast or troll. Heavyweight lines and short casts are better for shallow waters. Thinner gauge lines and longer casts, or more line out on a troll, will make the ShallowRaider® run much deeper.

Bigfoot Depthraider (Bucher Tackle)
Bigfoot Depthraider (Bucher Tackle)

HOW TO FISH:
The DepthRaider® can be cast or trolled successfully for nearly every big game fish in both fresh and saltwater. The actual maximum running depth of a DepthRaider® will vary depending upon several factors: length of cast (from rod tip to lure), diameter of line (the thinner the line, the deeper it will run), and to a lesser extent, speed of retrieve or troll (faster retrieve/troll results in a deeper running bait). Basically speaking, longer casts with thinner line will make the lure run deeper. Shorter casts with heavier line will result in a shallower track. In most casting situations with a conventional musky outfit loaded with 40 to 75 pound line, expect your DepthRaider® to travel anywhere from 6 to 12 feet depending upon the length of your cast and your retrieve speed. However, it is quite easy to attain depths much greater than this while trolling by simply varying the amount of line you let out (from rod tip to lure). If you want to troll the DepthRaider® shallower, let out less line. To attain greater depth, simply let out more line until you begin to hit bottom at your targeted depth. Depths of 20 feet or more are easily attainable using this system. Additional weight can be added in front of a DepthRaider® (3-5 feet in front of the lure) to attain depths of 30 feet or more.

The DepthRaider® has been specifically designed for fishing around heavy cover such as weeds, sunken timber and bottom bouncing. The built-in, tail-up buoyancy of this lure combined with its large triangular diving lip allows it to bump into almost any cover with minimal hangups. To maximize its effectiveness, always work the DepthRaider® with a high rod angle, whether casting or trolling. Whenever the lure collides with cover, immediately drop the rod tip (creating a momentary slack line). This allows the DepthRaider® to float up backwards from the snag. Most of the time, the diving lip is the first to contact the cover source. The sudden reverse rising motion backs the lure out of most snags. Resume your retrieve or troll with a sudden rip forward of the rod tip to free any remaining cover clinging to the lip or hooks. This cover freeing tactic also triggers a lot of strikes.

Crash Course on Crankbaits (Bucher Tackle/Roberts Outdoors 525-50003)
Crash Course on Crankbaits (Bucher Tackle/Roberts Outdoors 525-50003)
Joe Bucher, widely recognized as one of the fishing industry's elite big crankbait designers, takes the viewer on a fishing trip thru the world of big crankbait fishing for muskies, pike and even a few bonus whopper walleyes to boot. Watch Joe demonstrate how to effectively fish crankbaits for big fish in a wide variety of situations including: weedline crankin' with deep divers; skimming weed flats with shallow speed baits; jerkin' minnow baits over thick weed clumps in cold fronts; night fishing gin clear lakes with cranks; downsizing crankbaits for finicky fish; trolling rock walls, and much, much more!

Loaded with big fish action, watch Joe catch some of his most memorable crankbait muskies including "The Boat Tower", a giant night musky that literally towed his boat around. Also, "The Hawg Hybrid", one of Joe's biggest tiger muskies that struck during a wild wind storm. Add to this a classic crankbait cut where Joe collides with a 52 incher on a cold windy October day that ends up winning Wisconsin's heralded Vilas County Musky Marathon.

Anyone can cast a bucktail or a topwater bait, but few know what it takes to cast and troll big crankbaits efficiently spring, summer, and fall. This video reveals these secrets first hand from a hall-of-famer, who has designed some of the greatest big fish crankbaits of modern time.

Dancin' Raider 6" (Bucher Tackle/Roberts Outdoors)
Always use thick diameter, heavyweight line for topwater fishing to reduce line drag, line sinkage, and improve overall buoyancy. A medium/heavy power musky action rod of at least 6-1/2 feet also promotes better hooksets. After your cast, begin retrieving immediately. Start your retrieve faster initially while simultaneously lifting upwards on your rod tip to lift as much line off the water as possible. Then, level off your rod tip angle as the lure nears the boat finishing up with the rod tip actually touching the water. If the target is muskies, always finish with a figure 8 maneuver at boatside to trigger any followers. When a fish does strike the Super TopRaider®, try to set the hook with a body rotation sideways while driving your rod tip downwards. This reduces missed strikes and results in a much higher percentage of solid hookups. Made in the U.S.A.Click here to see the full color chart.
