Chubby Darters

No comments on Buzz Bombs  .....  How about Chubby Darters - size and colors?

Not sure what you are chasing, but I really like using chubby darters for walleyes.  If the fish are active, I usually have my best luck with a chubby darter.  Size 4 mostly, occasionally use a 5.  Colors that I've had best luck on are Regular Perch, GMO, Luminescent Orange Dace, and Yellow metallic Dace.  I think it really depends on the body of water you are fishing too.  If the water is clear, try to find a color to match what the fish are feeding on.  If the water is a little murkier, a higher vis color with more flash may be more appropriate.  Good luck!  If you search "Chubby Darter" in the search box in upper left, you should find plenty of info on chubby darters.  I think there have been many forum topics started about them.

Like the smallest for perch in perch lol or any color really depends on water/lake/fish

AltBraves12,

I am interested in walleye.  I usually fish with a green jig head and a frozen minnow.

The good ol' Chubby vs Lindy Darter 

FWIW, I have used Chubbies for a number of seasons and they have produced all types of fish for me. Last season I switched up to PK's early on in the season and had success with them so continued on using them. From Lakers to perch with bass, eye's and crappie in between along with different species of trout. The one thing I dislike about chubbies (and I have Lindy's too) are they can take sooooo loooooong to get down to the fish. PK's drop like a rock, or you can go lighter and finesses them.

My favorite chubby is a #3 perch or shad.

wyoutdoors, which pk lures do you use?  I assume you are talking about their spoons...  What's so special about their spoons?

Yellow PK Panic and rainbow flutterfish for lakers. Switched the treble out to a single red hook. For the rest of the catch, mostly flutterfish from the smallest size to 1/2oz were producers for me in a variety of colors. Check some of my posts from last year, all I had shipped in were PK's. There are some pics as well. I hate using bait and all the trouble keeping it, moving it around, moving to new spots on teh ice, etc. Gimme artificials all day long please. Nothing "special" about them I guess. They just worked for me.
