i have never been fortunate enough to fish for NP (or musky or walleye for that matter) but i'll bet a nickel they'l hit these:
http://www.trophysticks.com/cart/check out the production and custom baits.
i have one of each of the 4.5-inch production lures (christmas presents....) and have yet to get them in the water, but am very excited to do so........
based on fishing reports and testimonials from people i know (and dont know), trophy hunters, in the last couple yrs, some of the largest macks, browns, and RT have succumbed to this lure, as well as warmer water species......stripers, lmb, spots, and smallies......true multispecies lures.....w/ a warning...tie good knots......you dont want to lose them at $15+ a pop
