What do you find yourself tying to the end of your line more than any other lure in your box? If I'm after eyes I always start out with a jiggn rap on one of my poles, color depends on water clarity. If I'm panfishing I seem to also always start with a small jiggn rap on one pole. If the fish aren't aggressive I'll switch to a pimple or a small jig tipped with live bait. At times I'll fish live bait under a float, but I would have to say the jiggn rap is my favorite lure in my box. Whats your?

at indian it will be a vibe on one rod & a jiggin rap on the other to start. i will mix in jigging spoons if nothing happens & a jig & minnow if it's really slow.

I'm almost the same but I would swap the pimple for a jigging rap.  I have all of the above tied on though with my arsenal of rods, I generally carry 4-6.

On lake Erie for walleye it is the large Do-Jiggers or Vinglas.  Crocodiles are pretty darn good too.  Fish those against a Vibe-E or Pimple and let me know how that goes.

the #5 orange & gold vingalas are great on erie. jigging one rod & deadsticking a #5 jigging rap is hard to beat. when the bite is on about anything will work. have seen nice eyes caught on hair jigs.

For walleye, I prefer a vib-e, tipped with a minnow head.  But for panfish; doesn't matter if they're perch, big bull gills, or crappies I always prefer a tinmouth torpedo, a custom lure of mine.  That lure has never left me skunked.  Also this year, I'm going to try mixing in some rattlebaits, like the red eye shad, and see how the walleye respond to that.

Banker - I like his lures but he is sold out of a ton of them right now.  I put some thought into buying some a week or two ago and he was out of the colors I wanted.
