grumpymoe · « **Reply #1 on:** Dec 02, 2004, 07:29 PM »

this is too easy for me...i have 2.....rapala taildancer for cranking....and rapala shad rap deep diver for trolling......2 of the best artificial lures ever produced for catching the big hawgs......bar none....Grump

For open water my two favorite lures are a curly tail grub about 3" long on a 1/4 ounce jighead, and a tie between a lipless crank and a rebel wee crawfish.
For ice fishing, I will almost always use swim baits. A #5 jigging rap is my favorite. Gold or Orange color.

i was talking about icefishing lure.for myself its silver Swedish jig and silver tingler.

I like a chartreuse and orange 1/4 oz jig (3/8 or 1/2 oz in fast river water) tipped with a 3" frozen salted minnow. That's my most successful lure for walleye.

Northland Buckshot Rattle Spoon in orange/glow. Also Northland Forage Minnow.

Hey elkman, Cabela's has the chubbydarter. However, they tend to be a little expensive although I bought several myself. Haven't had a chance to use them as of yet. Hope this helps.

I like the swedish pimple silver or gold

elkman · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 31, 2004, 05:15 AM »

I ordered 2 of the chubby darters from Cabelas yesterday.They are spendy at 16.00$ for 2 with shipping but if they catch walleye then they are worth it.Got one in dace and one in perch.Both are 1 5/16.Hope they work!!!!

Silver and blue Acme castmaster, about 1/4 oz size, tipped with both halves of a fat head seems too work well also. It would probably be easier asking what the best beer is.

you can't beat the Fire Tiger Jiggin' rap

PeRcHsLaYeR · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 12, 2005, 09:11 AM »

swedish pimple 1/4 ounce and green flash with a minnow head and a minnow tail

HOangler · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 13, 2005, 06:51 PM »

How about that williams wobbler, silver? Works great for me. I put a glow in the dark eye on it near the hook and either use whole minnow or just the head.

KeystoneICE · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 14, 2005, 12:54 AM »

Glow Swedish Pimple.

coltons dad · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 23, 2009, 11:11 AM »

black and silver #7 jigging rap for a swimmer and a 1/4 glow pimple.

wally-eye · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 24, 2009, 12:55 AM »

Buckshot jigging spoon tipped with 3 perch minnows. If the eyes are fussy then downsize the jig......been my go to bait for 3 years...

Seedtree · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 24, 2009, 08:53 PM »

Another vote for chubby darters. I've developed confidence in these and it may be a selffullfilling prophecy now.

the one in my box that is scratched all to hell and or has no paint on it.

northernnyice · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 03, 2009, 07:37 PM »

For open water i LOVE bouncing jig heads with softplastics (twistertails, leeches, grubs) but through the ice virtually always on tippys with minnow

Big Al 1 · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 18, 2009, 09:51 PM »

Hey Elkman the closest place that has them around Casper is Walkers VP in Shosoni. They were Around 7 dollars there. I got my others off of the internet but I would definitely check at Walkers. I even catch trout off of them so it is a very versatile lure.

icedflies · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 19, 2009, 04:46 PM »

don't catch much walleye but trying out the chubby darter... does anybody bait the hooks? or do you just fish it right out of the box??

I was wondering the same thing.

I use fire tiger rap #7

FishingNy03 · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 20, 2009, 12:13 PM »

for ice fishing, i like sweedish pimples, gold and silver

Adam Bomb · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 22, 2009, 10:54 AM »

The one they want that day.

...In all seriousness, i really love to fish jigs and spoons.....Fireball jigs and my homemade Adam Bombs, then for spoons, #1 DO Jiggers and Cleos/BPS flashy times...in 1/8 1/6 and 1/4 oz.

bluenose30 · « **Reply #29 on:** Mar 03, 2009, 11:33 PM »

chrome and black, glow jigging raps. chartruse or orange whistler jigs. and of course a good supply of glow jigheads. 2 inch stinger hook ALWAYS!
