Simple Lure Catching Them

[D-wayne]

I often feel that I don't have the "go to lure" when times get slow.

That's the best time to get back to simple and do what you know works.

A plain little grub on a jig head just dragging the bottom does wonders at times.

Two extremes from a slow day both on the same little grub. I also tagged a perch a pile of smallmouth two largemouth bass and a lake trout with this little lure.

Such a great tactic for this time of year. I was slaying them last weekend with a 3inch tube on a Ned rig dragging the bottom. The slower the better this time of year!

For me its  a williams spoon. My go to for everything when things aren't working.

My " go to " lure had a habit of changing when I needed it most. Down sizing worked at times, a simple color change or action and depth change. 1/8th to 1/4 ounce hair jig can be magic at times.
