Forage Minnow... Thanks Everyone
« on: Jan 21, 2009, 04:03 PM »
For spoons I mostly used gold Sweedish Pimples and do okay with them... but I've read countless posts where people reccomend the Forage Minnow, so I decided to pick up a couple in November.

Used one of them for the first time today and did well.  In 2 hours I got a fat Perch, a couple really nice 'Gills and a nice  little Pickerel.

Thanks to all who have reccomended them.

i've only gotten a chance to buy one, but it is extremely effective for perch and i wish sportsman's would stock more soon, because i want to try all the other colors.

I was using those Berkley Waxies in pink.  I don't jig very much so I don't buy live waxies or spikes.  I do jig with dead minnows on small jig heads though, just not today. :)

Forgot to add...use a minnow head or whatever u like to catch first decent perch, then pop out the eyes and put them on works every time
