Does anyone know of any great baits that will catch me a lot of nice lakers?

white mistertwisters on a heavy jighead bang the bottom and raise it up when you mark em. If you dont have a flasher get one also gulp minnows with a 6" leader tied to a heavy glow spoon has produced for me.

White pimple. Buckshots. Tube jig with sucker fillets. Even jager61 secret white pimple seems to work

White or silver Swedish pimple with Cisco fillet. Works every time. Good luck

Ziehnertfish007 · « **Reply #6 on:** Feb 18, 2013, 03:58 PM »

Thanks. I have done really well with white swedish pimples. Also gulp alive smelt works pretty good. I know ciscos would work great but i dont know where to catch them. Maybe deep water or i have to get lucky.

Half a hot dog on a 3/4oz white jig head. The cheaper hot dogs work the best, smokey-er the better!

Can't go wrong with a white pimple.

fishslapped · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 22, 2013, 12:18 PM »

white pimple is a producer, but the red and copper or white flutterfish will make the non active fish strike !!

bluemountainlaker · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 22, 2013, 12:44 PM »

ive alway like a silver swedish with green prisum tape. but any pimplein size 7 will work. oarange and red swedishes work well in stained water. ive never had much luck on the gold swedish tho

White glow airplane jig tiped with stinger hook with dead bait. Buckshot. White pimple. Dont forget you smelly stuff.

bigredonice · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 25, 2013, 03:02 PM »

I quit the bait habit on my lake trout jigs and spoons this year and am never going back. Slipbob has been telling me for years you don't need minnows on your lure to catch lake trout. I eschewed them this year, and am catching lake trout at a better rate than I ever have before.

I'm with ya on this one. In my experience, if they're gonna eat they're gonna eat anything, if they aren't in the mood, then they aren't gonna eat live/dead bait either. Bare cleos have caught me a lot of fish soft and hard water.
