Your "GO TO LURE"

[bigugli]

Two go to presentations. Bucktails in various colour and size or, bucktail harnesses

[PUMP KNOWS]

I wish I had a go to

[Dozer]

Silver/blue half and half spoon. Catches it all.

[Dozer]

That is if I had to use it for multispecies and only one lure. Each species has a different "go to"

[chris.brock]

this is it

 

 

please discuss,

 

 

just kidding, don't discuss, good thread Geoff

[Musky Plug]

Have a few, for bass a 4" yum dinger T - rigged black with silver tip. (Unfortunately can't find anymore) Jackall DD squirrel has caught me more fish then I can shake a stick at, including my gfs 2 skis in one day. For trolling musky would be a tie between BWB's, Headlocks and Staklers. Casting skis would be bulldawgs.

[kickingfrog]

Really depends on species and time of year but...

 

Super spook

 

5.5 inch suspending husky jerk Tennesse shad

 

Hollow body sunfish

Thanks. We needed a good one

Yes, very much so this is why I posed the "general" Q as we all fish differently.

 

I was a die hard rapala hard bait (HJ's) person but changed a few years ago so just seeing who likes what and why

[wormdunker]

Perch coloured Go Getters with a 1" chunk of dew worm for walleye in the northern Ontario lakes I frequent, followed closely by the original floating rapala, black/silver. The rest of my tackle in 3 tackle bags is used primarily for ballast!! LOL!

[AKRISONER]

knew it that no one could get it down to one.

 

whatchyall know bout an owner stand up jig with an OSP craw?

 

if you wanna catch anything...fish it

[Lape0019]

Gamakatsu G finesse wacky hook in 1/8 or 1/16oz weight with a wacky rigged Power team lures sick stick is something I throw almost every time I am out.

 

My colour of choice is Dinner bell. I do not know what it is with this colour, but it works.

[Walleye'm Fishing]

Tubes. In all colours and sizes. 12 months of the year

 

I agree 100% You will catch every species that swims this way.

[SirCranksalot]

Looks a lot like a trolling spoon to me!!

[dave524]

Think I have caught just about every species of gamefish , except carp suckers and mudcats on Mepp's Comet spinners.

[jimmer]

Pink Jig Head and 3" white twister.

[Loonietoon]

My fav and can not find any more as l lost my last one on a 33in pic was a beno 4 jointed eel wish l could still get them.. but no way

[Sterling]

For pike I love me a #1 syclops spoon, they cast like a football so you get tremendous distance. Hot tiger is my best but any color will do.

 

Finicky fish like summer specks, nothing beats slow death hook with half a nightcrawler. 8lb fluoro line, bury that hook completely.

 

Deep walleye shad raps are great, the UV ones performed well this summer in tanned water. Harnesses always work too if you can get your speed way down.

 

For perch my strategy is different; I bring my line in, take off whatever I'm fishing with, and go home. (jk, perch or walleye rigs in the winter anyway).

[Sinker]

Worm harness or a 4" white grub on a 1/4oz jighead.

[JoshS]

If I had to pick one for non-esox, I'll take a jig n grub. If I had to pick one for esox, I'll take a big black spinnerbait.

[Ralph Field]

For steelhead , hands down , it would be a dominion 377 spoon, but lucky strike bought them out and stopped producing them.

[aplumma]

Hey, if anyone has lures they cannot find anymore but it's a "tried and true lure for you" might as well post a pic as someone may have it in the box and not use it anymore. If I make my way up to see Rick I know I'll be packing a bunch of grub's he likes but cannot find locally.

[Beans]

My favorite is a 2 1/2 inch Phenix smoke colored salted tube...Caught a nice 2+lb smallie on one under a slip float about an hour ago...I think Phenix stopped making that color in the 2 1/2 inch size...

[msp]

Black and blue jig n pig

That would be awesome! Hopefully you can visit someday soon brotha!

 

Id be down to help as well but im pretty sure sunset country doesnt have any lures that arent available to people in southern ontario.

 

Ironically the tackle shops here suck pretty bad.
