Musky Mania 7" Doc

A proven topwater plug that’s fooled everything from striped bass to bluefin tuna.

The Musky Mania 7" Doc earned its reputation the hard way—by out-fishing live bunker on some days. First seen by the Saltwater Edge crew in the early 2000s, this bait was a well-kept secret for nearly a decade before word got out. Designed for a big walk-the-dog action that drives striped bass wild, it delivers unmatched topwater excitement and consistent results.

Why We Like It

The 7" Doc is a smaller version of a New England legend. It offers the same deadly topwater action as the 9" model in a size perfect for lighter tackle and smaller bait situations. Still one of our favorite ways to tempt big stripers on the surface.
