Fall Lures - Upgrading Tackle

[couillard.10]

Hey, I am just starting to get out fishing more as the season is coming to an end and my tackle box is getting smaller in size from losing lures.

I am going to be investing in a number of new lures and wanted to know which lures you like best or that are most effective for the fall season. I do a lot of bass fishing on smaller lakes and some pike fishing.

Any input would be appreciated.

Large spinnerbaits(I like twin blade ones, where the blades are side by side not one infront of the other)

Jig /Pig

Rattle Traps

Shallow Cranks(Minus one, footloose)

Large plastics on a texas rig.

Diddo and I would add a buzzbait as well. You can fish it in areas where you really couldn't all summer.

Are we talking shallow cranks or deeper?

I fish shallow cranks this time of year and it seems to work but haven't tried the deeper one.

I use a Rapala DT6 or 4 and Rapala DTfats.. they seem to work well.

Black and yellow Mepps black fury if it has a high bullhead population, size 4 works about best. I've had some days in late fall where I'd have a strike 1 in every 3 casts on that thing.
