Your GO-TO laker lure
« on: Jan 18, 2011, 12:57 PM »
Just wondering what everyone's GO-TO laker lure is to get some chatter going on this page.

Mine, as of right now, is a white bodied, chartreuse tailed 4" grub with either a white or chartreuse jig head.

Lot more spoons then I would've thought. You guys always tipping those with sucker meat or something alike or no bait???

Airplane jig tipped with sucker, perch, shiners, or anything that smells fishy.

I never put meat on the hook of my spoon. Only if my first lake pukes something up. Maybe ill try meat this year.

Love weeping willows for trolling. Never tried them jigging. I am partial to a good old lead fish tipped with bait.

7" lucky strike canoe  or blue fox panga spoon, (same lure different manufacturers - go figure) pearl white with 3 big  red dots, OR large silver/blue hammered little cleo. When fish come in on the vexilar, change from a standard  jig stroke and fall, to a rapid 6-8 inch popping type of jig, and hang on.

1/2 oz silver cast master with a bucktail treble. Usually put a piece of sucker on it. Been using a small dodger and about a 10" leader to my jig lately and have had real good luck. had a few hitting the dodger so i added a treble hook on the bottom of it and caught a few that way

The macks up there must be related to the ones in Idaho the three best in perfect order.

gotbait:  Do you have a source to purchase Miller spoons?  I used to swear by them years ago and can no longer find a source for new ones.  I can sometimes find old ones on ebay.  I've been buying spoon blanks now from Lake Erie Walleye Candy--they're lightweight flutter spoons that are serving me well, but I'd like to know if Miller Spoons is still in business--can't find them on the internet.
