Miuras Mouse Big

The Strike Pro Miuras Mouse Big is a high-profile bucktail-and-soft-plastic hybrid designed by Italian lure craftsman Maurizio “Miura” Carini. Rugged Tackle's testing in North American musky water showed why the bait became a Scandinavian pike favourite: it moves a large volume of water while remaining controllable at very slow speed.

Why It Works

• Bucktail body breathes on the pause and sends subtle vibration through the water
• Replaceable double tail adds movement from a crawl to a faster steady retrieve
• Rear screw accepts different soft-plastic trailers for seasonal adjustments
• Wire-through construction reduces failure points under hard pike and musky strikes
• Fastach-compatible weighting lets you tune the lure from shallow weeds to deeper structure

How to Fish It

Slow-roll it steadily, use a pull-and-pause retrieve, or add short jerks to change direction. The lure's customization is its advantage: change trailer style, colour or added weight as weather, forage and fish depth shift instead of replacing the entire presentation.

Rugged Tackle Field Notes

• Spring: Use the double curly tail high over shallow weeds with a super-slow roll or pause-and-jerk retrieve.
• Summer: Switch to a paddle-tail trailer or add a BFT Tungsten Fastach sinker when fish move deeper and respond to more speed.
• Fall: Return to a large curly-tail profile, slow the bait down and use longer pauses around feeding areas.
