Your "Confidence Baits".

[guideman]

Hey guys,
We all have them....you know the baits
you throw, that you just know you'll get a fish or a follow on.

They sometimes change, depending on a few different things, like the time of the season, or weather conditions, but
day in day out they are your fave's.

Baits that you truly believe in, will give you more confidenece, a confident angler will work harder and the angler that works harder......will catch more fish.

My ultimate "Go To lure".....to date? It has to be, a black/silver bucktail.
I will almost always, start my day on the water with this bait, I have it in my head, that when ever I throw this bait, the next cast could be the fish of a lifetime.

Is that crazy?.......
No....It's Muskie fishing..

black/silver bucktail for me to. But I always cast a 8" tube after a follow.

Radtke Pike minnow. I had one of these in my box for 2 years before I actually used it and now I have 6 of them with barely any paint left on them. The firetiger color Radtke is definetly my go to lure. I caught more muskies on these lures last summer than all of the other lures in my box combined. I think they are made in some garage in NY. I bought my first one three years ago at the Sportsman's Show in Minneapolis. Great lure.

I have a few go to lures....
Black/red musky candy spin
Yellow/orange musky candy spin
perch color slip slider
walleye color slid'n shad
These 4 lures probably account for 90% of my musky catches.

I also will go with the silver/black vibrax bucktail, I caught 80% of my fish with it last summer. All of my other fish came on a black super topraider, I caught fish with this during all parts of the day. The muskies couldn't resist the slow, slurping lure on top of the water. As the season progressed I started using the topraider more than the bucktail, I even won a Muskies Inc. Chapter tournament using it.

Another vote for a bucktail.

I really started to like the new Mepps Magnum Musky Killer. Black/Orange with a chart/orange blade.

Its kind of funny that I have some old "go to" lures that I can not catch anything on know.

Another vote for a black/silver bucktail, although sometimes I change it up and start with a perch colored bucktail.

[RuKiddingMe]

I'd have to say either the my Sucker Jointed Shallow Raider or my black and red bucktail, got some new baits over the winter that i cant wait to throw. June can't come soon enough.

I like working the Jackpot, and Reef Hawg. Topraider also. I guess those are my confidence baits. So many in the box...and I relay on those 3. Looks like I've been caught.
