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!
