MGB is right. Sometimes though, you can't get them to revive even after a short(3 or 4 minute) fight. I have had 2 die on me that were hooked, fought, and released in less than 5 minutes and they never left the water. Don't know what the hell happened. Anyways, most will do fine just get em in quick and revive them fully before you let them go.
Also, the superbraids are all i use for muskies. There have been several discussions lately on "favorites", but you have to find the one you like. I personally throw 50# PowerPro on my spinning rods for tigers. I can still cast very far and can pull up a tree if needed. Also, the gill plate can slice you line as fast as their teeth. I have not lost a musky due to line being cut(with the PowerPro) by teeth or gills. I don't use steel leaders very often either.
A Bright orange J-13? I have never tried them. I use the fire tiger or perch or brown trout. The brown trout and F.T. are my 2 favorites aside from topwater(buzzbaits).
