Victor Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 all the lures look amazing Mike. Just like the others I can't wait to see the report of your trip. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeedLine Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Those baits look great! One of my go-to baits are the black Reaper tails too. I'm having trouble finding them lately. Thank god I have a pack and half left. Good luck on catching some giant gators. I'm sure those will get a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Nice looking jigs and chatterbaits. I use zonker jigs for everything from trout to musky with good results. These are tied on 7/0 hooks: musky like 'em. They look great! Those baits look great! One of my go-to baits are the black Reaper tails too. I'm having trouble finding them lately. Thank god I have a pack and half left. Good luck on catching some giant gators. I'm sure those will get a few. I bought all my reapers and cobra head jigs at ebait.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Can't wait for the report Mikey, I'm sure you guys are going to lay an absolute beating on them (especially with the weather they've had up there this week). Looking forward to the report bud!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skud Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'm just going to use a 4 inch Daredevil spoon the entire trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Probably all you need Doug. Take a 6" williams "whitefish" spoon as well (yellow design on silver). Mine worked really well for early pike a couple weeks back until I flung it into the bay ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a second you think you made an awesome throw until you realize the line is hanging only two feet from your rod tip. Lost more than a few lures that way.

Looking forward to the report bud!! You should be coming yourself!! You will be missed. I'll drink my first real beer since Christmas in your honour. hey mike yesterday we were fishing sparrow...i was using a three jointed silver belly storm lure......jerk jerk pause...nailed 5 of them before the rains came.....8 in top water baits ....might want to consider them..... good luck and all the best!!! Never had any luck at all with anything made by Storm. Maybe they deserve another look. There's not much doubt subtle baits will work well. I'm just going to use a 4 inch Daredevil spoon the entire trip. Doug, we're going to have some fun up there buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskullz Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Very nice!! Thos johnson silver minnows work great for pike. A similar spoon that has caught me a ton of bass and pike is the Tony Acetta Weed Dodger...great old lure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farsider Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hey Mike, Those look great. Thanks for sharing. I add a small piece of chartreuse reflective foil tape to the gold JSM. I find it especially effective in tea-stained waters. Have you tried glow-in-the-dark grubs as a trailer? Some days that seems to make the difference for me. I really like the strong glow of the Phenixcanada.com brand. Also, regarding the Reapers, have you tried throwing it weightless on a plain straight-shank worm hook or a EWG. It drops incredibly slow...similar to a slug-o. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To run the reapers and grubs virtually weightless I prefer to use large resin jig heads. They weigh almost nothing and I really like the way I can fish them.
