If waters stained, there is lots of snow or over cast conditions I like a rattle bait like a rattlin rap.
The jigging minnows like a jigging rap should go on the list of stuff to bring as well as the normal twister tail jigs and random spoons.
I would also bring some glow in the dark spoons,jigs just to have for dusk dawn and night. The simple fact fishing without bait is that the only time fish may bite might be in the prime time windows of low light.
