I only fished Curlew once for a long weekend but fell in love with this beautiful body of water and the surrounding country.
Stout tackle, super line of some kind(ie: Power Pro), a steel leader, good net and a bit of luck will get er done. Bucktails and spinnerbaits are once of the best and easiest to work, crankbaits in the 5-7" range are also a good choice. Eratic action will draw more strikes than smooth retreives.
Check out NW Tiger Muskies website and check out the sponsors. I think you'll find the lures you need plus leaders etc.
