I fish for musky all the time on Cave Run. I don't use wire leaders though...the best leader material I've found is 200lb Flourocarbon. I use 65# braided line. and big 7'6"-8' rods. muskies love big, bright, obnoxious looking baits, like 3oz spinner baits, big plastic swimbaits up to 16oz (1 pound). you can catch em on bass gear too, but if you want to get serious about musky fishing you throw the big baits on big tackle. in the early spring they love rattle traps, in summer I don't really have much sucess for em, most people troll deep with big trolling crankbaits like the Grandma Lures, in the fall they like big bladed baits like inline spinners and large Grimm Reaper style spinnerbaits, as well as topwater (buzzbaits). If you have any questions just PM i'll be glad to tell you all I know.
