Favorites:

Freshwater Bass: Spro Bronzeye Frog in black or green…I just like that top water bite.

Saltwater Flats: Cotton Cordell Redfin in gold…trout and Reds can’t resist it…it’s all I throw. On a bad day I’ll only go through one. On a real good day I’ve gone through 3!!

Grandma, no one mentioned my favorite walleye lure, the 7 inch sized one. Little Cleo especially the thin one( called flutter-if you have any I want it!!!) Yes the flat fish and lazy Ike, and for bass chug pug and Pike to - love my pike fishing. Trout white bread balls, cheese balls and good old corn- Really my favorite bait for trout is salmon eggs but the bottle is half sized not and 4 times the price, corn will do well. Night time I use lures or big flys for trout. the only time I use the fly rod is for trout at night or pike........jk

Hula Popper and Jitterbug, never used much else, addicted to that surface action. Charlie

I have probably caught the most on

jig and worm , jig and minnow

slip bobber rigs as well.

to the point that I didn't have much in the way of artificial at all in my tacklebox

then I got introduced to a Bandito bug rigged weed-less and weightless and man I love that for bassy areas of thick weeds
and the Wacky rig with a less weeds hook has also become a favorite caught a few bass on that Wednesday evening



I may also be too cheep to want to throw a 10 dollar bill on the end of my line and cast it at a bunch of down trees in the river. 1-2 dollars I can handle , it doesn't hurt the same.

I did actually catch on little silver spoon a few weeks ago , that was a 1.79 fleet farm bin special

Johnson silver minnows can work very well with a pork rind or rubber tail. HOWEVER, they have the worst hook on the planet. Work it over good with a file right out of the box.
When I use them I find it best to give it a second after the initial hit, no pressure on the line, to give the fish time to turn with it and then set that single hook in.

Rattling Chug Bug, green and yellow.

Mepps, red and white faced. #2 or #3, depending on size of fish.

Jack

yellow 1 oz daredevil with red polka dots.
I caught more northern on that than any other lure

Black and Gold Rapala, best I've ever used. Hula popper's are a lot of fun.

Probably caught more bass on mepps than all other lures combined

Biggest large mouth I've caught was on a Jitterbug

Bass, Rapala and plastic worms.
Panfish, small jig with rubber body, tip with worm, catches bass and walleye too.
Trout, spinners.
Nightcrawlers for most everything. Also chunks of hotdogs for catfish and bowfins.

Erie Dearie and a nightcrawler

Do you sell your blades baits? Could you message me?

What brand fish is that? Looks kinda like what we call "Crappie", only in plain jane colors.

It called a golden perch or yellow belly. They get to about thirty inches. Great eating!

DuPont fly.

#5 Mepps
