[charlie1959]

what is everyones favorite decoy ? everyone seems to say red and white,ive had very little sucess with any they seem to want the sucker and dont pay attention to the deek,i just ordered a sunfish about a 8 incher,most nords ive caught have sunfish in them so i thought it might work whats everyones opinion/experence?thanks

this year a yellow and red dot spoon has been my best other than that chartuse/red have worked the best for me along with a live decoy

[bassNspear]

I have had awesome luck with red and white. Seen some fish with orange and yellow, but Bear Creek 10" Red and White has been the best for me!

[merkman]

Neon pink worked wonders today.

[Laska]

Natural 10" Bear Creek Northern, had 5 come to the deak today and only 2 to the live sucker, trying a red n white tomorrow

[bassNspear]

have your spear in your hand if your going to tie the red n white on!

I am begining to like that one too.

I had a 8+ pounder come in to the MikeDaPike Whitefish also.

My Favorite is the Red and White Duey Decoy... I look for the slender one's, as some are really thick. 9 Inch works great.

[Pooh]

the only deke that has worked for me the last few years (maybe cause i use it the most) is my home made white on blood red. 4 vertical white stripes and a white tail.

[bassNspear]

sounds cool looking, do you have a photo of it!

[Fish Toys]

When I did get out all I used were the biggest spoons I could get using a teaser. Seemed like red & white worked the best? Or two smaller spoons fastened together opposite directions. Red & white also.

This is my 5th carved decoy, went with a natural look, and the got the blue print for it off of the building a decoy at the Michagan Darkhouse Club HSOforum

[bassNspear]

thats a cool looking decoy!

I like the red fins that it has, along with the white on the sides!

[Gordie]

nice job on the decoy. yellow and red dot spoon does it again got a 26 incher this morning

[bassNspear]

[Gordie]

I went to buy a big spoon tonight but they didn't have any at the store I was at.

I ended up getting a red and white spoon, a gold and orange spoon and a perch colored spoon.

I am going to link them together (stack them one on top of the other) and run that on the hillbilly spinner this weekend.

[Gordie]

merk I've stacked the red and white and pink and havent had any luck with that yet and I also hooked up the HB spinner to a locator battery and it works awsome it still wont spin the big decoys but it spins one of the smaller ones. and I am useing small spoons need to go to cabelas and pick up some muskie spoons. I also have add a skirt from a spinner bait and it drives the panfish crazy they start nipin at it witch I think will attract more pike.

You should try some tinsel off the christmas tree!!

I spin a 6" with no problem.

I think the string is prob the issue with anything bigger.

If you need more speed increase the voltage by hooking up bateries in series or use a 24 volt batery. That motor can handle 30VDC if you keep it at 30 or under you will be OK.

Did the 9 Volt hold up?

-Merk

[Gordie]

9 volt died right after the get to gator and wired it up to 12 volt.

[merkman]

I am going to hook this contraption up to the HB Spinner Sat morning.

Hopefully it don't eat away at the ice under my shack for all the water it is movin' (How's that for some smack talkin?)
