No. Generally a muskie eats other fish or animals and is considered a carnivore.
IF you can get them (and it's legal!) the best bait for a large muskie is a much smaller muskie. Most, if not all of the bigger fish, above approximately 5 pounds in weight are female, and will eat smaller muskie as a matter of course: it is a food source that is most easily assimilated by their digestive systems. In practice, almost any smaller fish could be used as bait ... and don't forget the wide variety of lure available too ... on their day, they will all catch muskie ... there really is no 'one' best bait for muskie or any other fish!

Usually for muskie fishing, steel leaders are used because of the razor-sharp teeth of the fish that can cut through line. The leaders can be either fastened to the line by knots or attached swivels, and leader strengths for muskie vary from 30 lb for jig fishing in cold weather to 120 lb for planer board trolling in offshore areas. However, th average muskie fisherman should use 50-70 lb test leaders when fishing with muskie lures or live bait.
