Get on the Boards with Livingston Magnus
Tuesday, March 4th is the big day, and there is a lot of intrigue surrounding the New Magnus from Livingston Lures. Let’s break it down to its integral parts and get to the nitty-gritty of what makes this bait a unique musky slayer destined to put some beasts in your boat for the upcoming season.
As there are a million lures on the market and thousands of glossy hand-made lures whittled with love, you might be asking yourself what makes the Livingston Lures Magnus so great in comparison. That question is both easy and complex. Like its predecessors in the Predator Line up, the Titan and Kraken, Magnus is designed to be a “Mod Machine.” This lure takes the proverbial cake regarding functionality, as its versatility knows no bounds.
The Magnus comes with a highly innovative hard plastic head, complete with internal/removable weight. The unique rubber body slides over its wire-through system, creating a highly desirable tail wag but with the structural integrity of wire through plastic. Technically, this lure serves a host of functions, making it look and feel easy to work both in and out of the water.
The same weight system utilized with Kraken and Titan has been fine-tuned with the Magnus. With the added weight kit, anglers can manipulate depths with the turn of a screw. Seasonality is no match for the versatility of this weight system. Fish deep in cold fronts or shallow in the first months of the season, neither is a problem for Magnus. Right behind its initial release will be Magnus’s downsized tail. This smaller appendage will provide a downsized panfish-sized profile for early-season or picky eaters.
Speaking of tails, Magnus’s head unit is made to match with any of its multiple tail colors, so when it comes to the perfect combination, anglers can be the judge. If you want a White Head Perch, Magnus can make it happen. If you prefer black crappie, add the Disco Shad Body with a Matt Black head and give your bait a new presentation. The styling is up to the individual angler, so don’t restrict your thinking and get outside the box on this bait.
If you can’t be sold on modification, the Magnus action is enough to make a man feel guilty. This lure has a body roll and tail wag that would turn a runway model’s head. The oversized footprint of the Magnus boot tail takes on an exaggerated swim under the surface, and with built-in EBS, the sound and vision will turn any muskie's head, regardless of conditions. This lure is insanely productive. Magnus was built for anglers who needed ingenuity, customizability, and durability all in one. So, when it drops on Tuesday, pick up a Magnus and see what it can do for you on your home musky (or pike) waters.
