favorite plastics for eyes

[eyemaster]

what are your favorite plastics and how do you use them for eyes?

[PerchJerker]

For the river I like ringworms.

For pitching jigs shallow and deep in lakes I like 3" twister tails. I usually use powerbait, gulp, or kalpins.

My favorite plastic bait to pitch shallow is a 4 or 5 inch jerkshad (jerkshad should be 2 seperate words but the word filter will change it to jerk-bait if I type it as 2 words).

Another option for plastics is using power crawlers on live bait rigs or spinner rigs behind planer boards, but I don't do much of this.

I was thinking about starting a thread inquiring about anyone having success with Gulp!Alive 5" leeches. But I guess it sort of fits here. Anybody? I saw a deal on tub and it got we wondering. I haven't really had any success with plastics for 'eyes. I confess that I don't go to them very often.

Berkely Power tails, 2-3 in casting the shallows, 3 in for rivers,

The 2 and 3 inch Berkley Power Minnows are a fantastic bait both fished shallow(pitching) or vertically jigged. The 3" Berkley Drop Shot Minnows are going to be just flat out awesome this year.

I really like the Lindy Munchies 4" grubs. It is the bait that I caught a 14# walleye on so my confidence may be artificially high. I have to say that I am looking into other plastics right now, but still maintain a good supply of Munchies.

Swimshads on jigs can be awesome in weeds and over rocks. Last year I had some success using senkos...was out fishing for smallies in the river and couldn't keep the walleyes off! It only happened once, but it was a lot of fun. I probably could have caught them on just about anything that day, though, so I'm not sure that senkos are ideal walleye lures.

I really like a 3" or 4" Sassy Shad, or shad type swim bait. I have had alot of success using them on rivers or casting in lakes.

Dave, you seem to be one step ahead of me lately.  I guess it's nice for me though because I have to type less.  Thanks.  Ha!

HUGE fan of the 3" chartruese Gulp (Alive) minnow grub. It's basically a little more detailed version of a standard mister twister. Love the stuff, usually the first thing I toss out.

i also like the swimshads alot and you dont just catch eyes on it but many other types of fish

2 and 3 inch power minnows, 3 inch power grubs and Lindy's ringworms for the river. I have to admit I don't fish much plastic on the lake might have to try it more this year.

[delmuts]

i use the power minnows, along with some twister tails, but! a plastic i use alot on the river systems here is a Culprit paddle tail!it is a 2 in. crappie bait that eyes love at times!

Just picked up some Slurpies, haven't tried them yet but from the looks of them I think (hope) that I will like them. 4" ringworms and grubs.

I've done real well with Gulp! products, especially the leeches and 3" minnows. In water with low clarity I really think the scent of gulp! makes a differnce. Also used the 3" and 4" power minnows which have real good looking colors.

well i have read many posts in this forum and i final have something that i can answer about. I have also had good luck with almost all of the Gulp products every where from lakes to the river here at home. I like almost all of the Gulp products
