Ran across this when reading Field & Stream, this should get some Muskie or Northerns this Spring or Summer, what do you think? It's called the 3D Suicide Duck made by Savage Gear. They come in two sizes 4-1/4" for 16.99 and 6" for 19.99.

I have a set of these lures for big fish:

I briefly practiced with them in the clear water of Flaming Gorge where I could see their action at various speeds and techniques. At the right retrieve speed and then giving it slack line, it turns 180 degrees and suspends while staring atwhat would be large fish just following yet not biting. The theory of that being a challenge prompting a strike makes sense to me. I've had fish follow my lure back to me many times, so next time I'll switch to one of these and see if a smaller fish challenging a larger one prompts a strike even when they're not feeding. I wasn't really fishing it then and just briefly matching the lure weight to a rod that casts it best. It looks and swims just like a fish.

I think you need a Federal Duck Stamp to fish with one of those!
