Don't hone it too much, Doc...might lose it altogether.

My homemade hatchet blade spinnerbaits and a good selection of Rapala floating, jointed, and husky jerks. Yellow perch and firetiger are the producers for me.

 

If I had to pick just one it would be my 1/4oz. spinnerbait, I can fish pretty much any water with that for bass, pike, muskie, and incidental walleye.

This lure has caught almost every species of fish for me

 

 

Always have it in the box.

i thought i had a pretty good sense of humour about it? i even made a play on words to go with the joke? pretty sure it isn't my sense of humour that's broken.

What ever Frankie, we want to know what Juli wouldn't leave home without.

Holy cow, I knew that comment was going to come from somebody

 

If it's Juli's choice just make sure it has pink, purple or chartreuse in it.

You put 'em that high on the tee someone is going take a swing.

Top water: Jitterbug, Hula Popper, Scum Frog

 

Mid water: Cranks like Big O, spinnerbaits and Mepps spinners

 

Bottom: Hook, sinker and a worm or on a slip bobber setup

[kickingfrog]

Since I've added a 2 bit comment I should try to add some value.

 

I almost always bring 2 tackle stores worth on a short half day trip, so limiting myself would be really difficult.

 

I like Leechman's breakdown.

 

top water: zara spook

 

mid depth (down to 12 feet or so): any number of rapalas, husky jerks, x-raps

 

deeper: deep taildancers and the mid depth ones on a three way

 

And always enough jigs to sink a battleship.

 

My first colour option is almost always "natural", that's me, but it is also about the clear waters that I tend to fish most often.

I agree:thumbsup_anim:

That's why I use the XL bass pro bag......I can fit 18 large(3700) trays in it, with room for other things.

Rob, you bring up a good point in colour selection... my preferred ones are: white, black and chartreuse and that's just me

[davey buoy]

White spinner bait for about 20 mins,covering water and then mepps #5's assorted colours.Then if nothing works into the tackle box for added arsenal..We'll get you some how.LOL.

Gold Mepps Commet

Multi Coloured Mepps Cylopse

Rapala cranks

Jig w/ gulp alive

One lure that is an oldie has been a consistent walleye producer for me over almost 50 years is the Canadian Wiggler, originally the 1 piece model in chrome but later the new jointed models have worked well in various colours eapecially on Erie for walleye and even spring salmon/trout trolling. price is reasonable and they are virtually indestructable too.

Hee hee hee- I won't leave home without a big assortment of lures for those slow times when nothing else works (it kills time playing around if the action is slow, you know?!)... I always have my variety of pretty colours on my standard lures - and if all else fails, throw some pretty Yum on the end just for fun!

[Rod Caster]

agreed.

 

Top water: Buzz bait

 

Mid: x-rap

 

Bottom: Jig and Mr.Twister

[Toad Hunter]

trying to narrow it down to one is very tough, but this has caught me almost anything I've tossed it to:

- 3/8 oz black Zman original chatter bait.

Fishing from shore it is micro tubes and small twisters, or a white spinnerbait. In a boat, I always have lots of

[Christopheraaron]

These

[Moosebunk]

Ready to go into the boat almost EVERY time is a black box with some jigheads and various plastics. One could head out on the water to fish a species that they wouldn't be necessary, (ie, muskie, carp, gar..) but if the day goes to crud for those fish, there's always pannies, bass, maybe eyes and even trout in the waters. Having a small assortment of jigs and the ultralight packed has saved a few days in the past.

[gordy28]

For me:

Bass

5 inch Senko in gren pumpkin w red fleck

Rapala X Rap XR8 - Hothead

Bomber Flat A naural crayfish

Plus:

Orange/Yellow Lindy Real Fish worm harness (walleye)

Dick Pearson Grinder 1 OZ spinnerbait - white anc chartreuse (muskie)

 

 

Its funny - a few people have hot n tots = every up North trip I have done the hot n tot has been the recommended bait for walleye (almost alwyes in fire tiger/perch) - I have 3 in my box and never caught a fish on them.

 

Anyone else had success with them? Going on a newe tri this year - and guess what is on the must bring lure - you guessed it hot n tots in firetiger
