Real Name:

Jim Korducki

About:

I am the creator/owner with my wife of Ducktail Lures LLC. Muskies are my passion and I rarely fish for anything else (occasionally chase smallmouth.) I've been making my own fishing lures since I was 9, and when I started musky fishing making lures for them became as much my passion as the fishing. I am a board member of Bill's Musky Club, Wausau, WI and active in several others including headwaters Muskies Inc., Boundary Waters Musky Club, Consolidated Musky Club, World Musky Hunt, Etc. Ducktail Lures LLC specializes in great jerkbaits and spinnerbaits for heavy cover --our Warrior Series, and also topwaters, including SputterDuck, ThunderDuck, and Surface Storm. Our lure business is a labor of love, we get as much joy out of someone else getting a big fish on our baits as if we had caught it. Most Importantly, we try very hard to support the Musky Clubs, and charitable organizations such as Kippenberg Creek Kids. I am married to my wife Michelle, and we have two kids Jeremiah 13, and Amanda 11.
