Favorite Lures

[kennyman]

I was enjoying reading about everyones favorite lures and now that the thread will be closing I thought it would be great to continue it here. This time your top three or four lures would be incredibly educational (and much appreciated) tool for myself and I'm sure others here. Next time I go shopping I'll be bringing a list compiled from the knowledge gained in this thread. I guess even though I'm a novice I'll start.

1. Strike King orange and chartruese spinner bait (caught my first little muskie on this so it had to be #1)

2. Hula Popper (frog pattern)

3. BPS Topknocker (black/silver)-man does this thing rattle!

4. Storm Rattlin Chug (blue/silver shad). Topwater is my favorite.

Favourite lures, in no particular order...

 

floating Rapalas & Husky Jerks. My PB pike came on a floating Rapala. Lots of x-rap fans on OFC but I've only got one and haven't really used it much yet.

 

Chartreuse/white spinnerbaits.

 

Hula popper. Nothing beats topwater action! My PB LM was on a Hula popper.

 

Twister tail jigs. Catch everything on these, bass, pike, walleye...

I would have to say that this year its the large Rapala Husky Glass jerk in perch pattern.

The same bait has also gotten me a 40 inch and 48 inch pike this year!

1. Woodies

2. Lokes

3. Wileys

4. Terminators

[OhioFisherman]

My favorite would be a buzzbait, there is nothing like snaking one thru the lilies and seeing the water explode. I don`t use them as often as I should, just because other lures have a better hook up ratio.

 

Plastic worms and lizards, just for me a go to lure, they can be fished almost anywhere and the hook-up rate is high.

 

Jig and pig, jig and plastic, they will still catch a lot of fish.

 

Tubes my favorite multi species lure.

 

Really no favorites to speak of, I use them all until I figure out what is working best and where I find the fish.

[GbayGiant]

Jigs and worm harnesses will catch anything, spinnerbaits and bucktails have caught me a ton of fish to.

A white 4" or 5" tube with some contrasting fleck (black/silver) on a 3/O or 4/0 hook (offset); great for smallmouth on structure breaks/weedlines/sand flats and equally successful in the slop for largemouth. I've also had pike and muskie hit them.

[Puckhead]

Not necessarily my "favorites" but my most succesful, all things considered:

 

1 b/w spinner baits

2 jointed b/w raps

3 mid size inline's

 

Starting to get into plastics a bit more too. Now if I could only get out fishing once in a while...

[Matt15]

The two lures i use the most are strike king spinnerbaits and a jighead with a white grub when fishing for bass. For musky I like big spinnerbaits.

[bigfish1965]

Squirell Tail.

 

[PatB]

1 Rapala J-7 jointed Great for walleye

2 Spinnerbait black with a pork trailer

3 Smithwick Rouge

4 If I don't catch anything on these go home and have a few cocktails... LOL

5 For got to add, Husk Jerks for them spring time walleye.

1) Pretty much any spinnerbait-they generally don't break the bank, you can toss the heavier ones a mile, they rarely snag up and if you do lose em you're not out an arm and a leg. Plus they're fun to use.

2) Kinda keen on my Storm Deep Thunder right now too, another cheapie (relatively) and seems to have a nice action/wiggle to it.

[Phunter]

1. Jig with stinger hook, and worm

2. Jig and minnow

3. X rap

4. Huskey Jerk
