Musky Mania Squirrely Burt: Legendary Dive-and-Rise Action with Dynamic Tail Motion

Trigger explosive strikes from trophy predators with the Musky Mania Squirrely Burt. Designed to elevate the iconic dive-and-rise mechanics of the original Burt jerkbait, this versatile lure combines erratic darting motions with the fluttering action of a supple, high-action soft tail. The result is an irresistible baitfish imitation that drives trophy muskies and northern pike wild.

When twitched or jerked, the Squirrely Burt dives sharply and darts unpredictably from side to side. As it pauses, the body slowly rises while the soft tail continues to wiggle and pulse, creating continuous movement even when the bait is stationary. Available in both weighted and unweighted configurations, it allows anglers to easily adapt to changing depth zones, water temperatures, and cover density.

Key Features

• Erratic Glide & Rise Motion: Dives, darts, and hovers unpredictably to simulate an injured, vulnerable forage fish.

• Active Soft Tail Accent: High-action tail adds subtle vibration and lifelike movement on the pause, enticing follower strikes.

• Dual Weighting Configurations: Available in weighted (for deeper water columns) and unweighted (for shallow cover and slow presentations) models.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with tough body materials and heavy-gauge terminal hardware designed to withstand violent musky strikes.

• Versatile Retrieve Compatibility: Responds exceptionally well to aggressive rod jerks, slow sweeps, or steady reel-pause cadences.

Technical Specifications

Pro Tip: Watch your line closely during the pause phase of your retrieve. Because the Squirrely Burt continues to wiggle as it slowly floats back up toward the surface, a significant portion of strikes occur while the lure is completely stationary. When you feel sudden slack or heavy pressure on the pause, set the hook hard.
