Title: What is your go to lure and color?
Post by: Mancaveburnett on Nov 10, 2017, 07:30 AM
No answers like depends what I'm fishing for, depends on body of water, or blah blah blah. Plain and simple what lure will you use the most in the season? and what color will you use the most?
GO!

Overall my number one color is perch however on a few lakes that differs between a combination of pink and white or a combination of orange and chartreuse.

Shiner on a tip up :tipup:

When Gander Mt. Went out of business, I bought more equipment than I will use in a lifetime of ice fishing... at 60-95% off I juyst kept filling my basket with anything I didnt have, and some I did! Guess I'll be doing some experimenting this winter!

I dont have one.  The fish tell me what the "favorite" is and it tends to vary.  A lot!  Sometimes a particular offering is hot all season.  Some are several seasons in a row.  Some flop after a few hours in a trip...forcing my hand to try something else.  Thats the fun for me though...the second I find myself reaching for the same offering at the same old spot...ill be done with this sport...

I know you said you use salted minnorws or live with it, but do you use that small hook near the head of the jig for anything. I know in the summer its used to keep the worm on but never seen it for ice fishing use

For perching, I use the dropper rig. Size 3 Swedish pimple. Color copper. No treble hook. 2 inches of mono tied to tear drop jig tipped with grubs. If they are down there, they will hit it... :icefish:

1/16th oz. Blue Fox Flash Rattling Spoon in glow perch color.  Killer.  And discontinued.  :-( 
It's my favorite jigging spoon of all time and was already discontinued when I tried it.  I bought up all I could find and have a decent stock of them.

Tight lines,
Bob

1/8 oz silver kastmaster tipped with a waxworm catches everything. If the flasher shows they are down there they will almost always hit it.
