Does anyone else use these


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone else uses these apex lures. I have had the best success with these. I finally found them on hsolist, because no where around St. Cloud carries these. I don't fish for walleye a lot during open water but when I do this lure has outfished any spinner. I was so happy to find them, because the one I have has been retied so many times I can't remember. These things have awsome side to side action. Maybe I have just been lucky finding stupid fish to hit this lure, because I have a buddy that fishes walleye a lot and he told me that he would never use it, and can't believe I've caught fish with it. But I guess like my dad has told me, "I'd rather be lucky than good"

Can't say I'm familiar with that bait at all, but good for you for finding something that works. I often wonder how many times fish have seen northland spinner rigs or shad raps or something like that go swimming past them ---- it makes sense to me that giving them something they haven't seen before should turn a few fish.

SHHHHH! Not to loud man. Ya they work ok. ;\)

When I can still find them I buy them up. I take off the line it comes with and retie the way I like at the given time. If you like these try some of the spin n glows and angle cut corkies in the bigger sizes.

Some days these work good and other days the spinners are better. If Im trolling quick and covering water I use spinners. If Im slowing down and really working a area over Ill go to these and or spin n glows.

The company that makes these are right here, where I live. Contact the company, they are owned and operated by a real fisherman. He will get you what you need if you can't find them where you live.

The one I have, I bought in Iowa, and the only place I've found them now is on hsolist. I will have to get a hold of the company to see what other colors they have. Right now I just have fire tiger. The new one I just received is about 2 times as big as my older one. I guess a bigger bait mean bigger fish grin.gif I really like them and I do fish them slow behind a bottom bouncer.

What are these blush.gif I'm sorry but I don't fish walleyes that much, basically from the walleye opener till the muskies opener, then during ice season. So sorry for the stupid question.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
