Yea, Tommy, I told you what to use, as said above bucktails work best and don't skimp out on good leaders, when you break a huge fish off because you're leader sucks you will hate you're self.
Try Blackwell for pike, and the DuPage river has pike and 'ski. Most likely you will have to go to Wisconsin to get into GOOD muskie water. Rember, getting a follow from a muskie in a weeks worth of fishing is good, catching one is a rare occurence, that is why good gear is required, you don't want to break off the only fish you hook in a week due to bad tackle.
