Title: What is your go to bait?
Post by: jmsteele187 on November 11, 2013, 06:30:47 PM
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

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.

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.
