Description
Meet The Berserker
The Berserker is the little brother to the Barbarian — smaller, faster, and just as deadly. Designed for anglers who demand power and precision, this Muskie bucktail combines hand-poured rubber skirts with dual #7 Indiana blades to create an irresistible profile in the water.
When you cast a Berserker, you’re throwing something the fish have never seen before. Its thick, lifelike skirt produces a pulsing, breathing action that outperforms standard hair bucktails. Whether you’re chasing Musky in lakes or Pike in rivers, this lure gives you the advantage.
🧪 Developed with Muskie Legends
DeLong partnered with some of the biggest names in the Musky world — Steve Herbeck, Gregg Thomas, and Aaron Pratt — to design and refine this lure.
During early testing with Aaron Pratt of Churning Waters Guide Service, the Berserker landed 12 muskies in just six hours.
Each one of these guides agreed: the combination of rubber skirts, twin Indiana blades, and DeLong’s signature squirm bodies delivers a completely new vibration and motion underwater — one that drives big fish insane.
