#7 shadrap in perch or firetiger

[Lakeside_Nelson]

Perch, clown, & gold

[jwmiller33]

perch, firetiger, crawdad, clown, blue, purpledescent, and hot steel are all my personal favorites Rapala patterns

[solbes]

In really clear water it's silver/black, chrome/blue, or white. If it's dark at night then perch or hot steel. If it's full moon at night then it's chrome/blue.

[Fowlmouth]

Clown is my go to color but besides that I like the natural look of perch.

[Bigtom]

blue and crome rattle trap.

[Mike Walerak]

I always have a redcraw, firtiger or Blue crome on one of my rods nearly all the time. If I had take only one it would be the Firetiger. There are a few custom paint jobs that I very rarely ever leave the dock without.

Fire tiger or perch, seem to always do well for me.

[Ed Carlson]

Black/Gold Salmo Hornet. Black and Golds is a good all around pattern for me.

Luminescent Pink is another I have high confidence in.

Silver Blue metallic with a White or Orange belly.

Black back with a white belly.

Lindy Shadlings, perch and natural perch.

Lindy Shadlings have some awesome natural colors. I am very partial to the Redtail Chub pattern. Purple smelt will also be a staple in my walleye and sauger arsenal this year. Last year was the forst year I have ran the Shadlings and I was astounded by how many fish I boated with them.

White with blue/red if there are ciscos/whitefish in the lake or gold and silver shades if not. Maybe some perch colors thown in if the colors above don't work. If the water is real dirty then it's firetiger or one of the variants out there.

[jwmiller33]

I will add I also really like the action on the salmo hornets. Size 5 for late fall trolling and size 7 for the rest of the season. Perch and green tiger patterns are the only ones I have personally tried out but I'm sure there are a bunch more.

... salmo hornets. Size 5 for late fall trolling and size 7 for the rest of the season.

Didn't know they made a 7. That something new? or the 6?

Anyone ever use storm thinfins? I picked a few up. They look identical to the shad in the river. My grandfather used to use them. I've never given them any time but I plan to.

[Mike Walerak]

They work some on the river but not a top producer. I thought they would work much better than they do.

you are right. I was thinking of the Lindy Shadlings (another great crank). The hornets come in sizes 3, 4, 5, and 6. I believe I have the 4s and 6s, not the 5 and 7s like I first mentioned.

The original "Thin Fin's" are a great walleye bait, a favorite of mine. Dave fired up his new company (Dave’s Ka-boom! Baits). He was able to start producing the original Hot-N-Tot, Thin Fin, and T-Sticks under the new name – Winning Streak and the old Thunder Stick under the name KA-BOOM! These lure run, look, and catch fish like the originals.

Very good in spring when fish are on transitional flats. A Top producing lure on the border lakes like Big Stone and Traverse.

A great lure to run off micro boards off to the side and up shallow, or on leadcore.

I spent some time painting up some spinners for the North Shore Cohos and Kamloops, taking my best guess as to what colors/patterns, I would appreciate your thoughts!

Not pictured are 10 silver, gold and como spinners. Figured the Pink/Blue/White combos would looks something like the smelt.. Black/Yellow- I have always hammered fish on those colors. I expected that in the river, they may not work as well as offshore - if I get a chance to get into a boat in Lake Superior...
