What is your go to bait?

[jmsteele187]

Just kinda curious as to what everyone's favorite baits are, and maybe what baits you plan to try a bit more this year? 
I used to just go with some type of horizontal jig made of lead, then I discovered tungsten.  Now a Fiskas wolfram jig or CJ&S chekai jig, tipped with a spike are what get used the most.  After having some success with plastics last year, I want to try them a bit more this year.  I also have a number of spoons that have had almost no use, and a few rattle baits just in case I'm fishing someplace with toothy critters.

My go to on a tough bite is a blade bait in "big sexy" or gold cant beat the intense action and vibration to entice a bite from a toothy denizen or even curious crappie

[jmsteele187]

I don't have any blade baits in the box.  Sounds like I might have to add some new additions to the box.

Check into the Predator lure by PK spoons if your looking to add any spoon or blade baits. These little gems with be hot  ticket this year. The other spoons and flutterfish work great as well.

I dont think you will be disappointed, many sizes and color combos are available, I dont know where you are located but marks bait and tackle by berlin reservoir has a great selection if hes not close I think he ships ir you can check your local guys!

I have this little gold spoon about the size of a dime,   love it   

[Ntoiceman36]

Oh yea but does it catch catfish and if so where can I get one

[snowcone]

I have never caught a cat on it but I could try     and if I ever do I will give it to you   hehe

Jiggin rap early and late in the year, a spoon or jig mid winter.

 ;DIf im fishing aggressively its a blade bait or a jigging rap . I also like a buckshot rattle spoon . with these I always have a minnow on a dead stick .

[toadfish]

Jiggin rap and Vibee are my go to baits for aggressive walleye/saugeye.  Swedish pimple tipped with minnows for the sluggish ones.

Jig tipped with waxies or maggots/spikes for panfish and perch.

I agree with Justin but will add Crystal Epoxy to the Heavy Metal Tungsten order

[slabslayer]

Tinmouth torpedo.  I'll post a pic later.  Kills the crappie and big bull gills.

Heavy Metal Tungsten Crystal Epoxy Jig- Black Blue and Purple colors in Ohio work best for me.
